Draft Forest Sustainability Strategy
The Draft Forest Sustainability Strategy was produced by the Steering Committee following the June 10, 2003 Forest Sustainability Issues and Indicators Forum and preparation of the February 2004 Issues Paper.
The Strategy presents the Steering Committee’s Vision for Forest Sustainability, as well as 10 Guiding Principles, 42 Goals, 86 Recommended Actions, and 63 Recommended Assessment and Data Analyses in support of 15 Ecological and Economic Issues for Forest Sustainability.
The Strategy also includes background information about the 15 issues, an introduction to sustainability indicators, and a data snapshot of the forest resources of Baltimore County.
At the time of release of the Strategy on November 8, 2005, Baltimore County signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the USDA Forest Service, the MD Department of Natural Resources, and American Forests to work cooperatively to implement the Strategy.
