A framework for developing a field-based monitoring program that helps managers make decisions about which protocols to use and balance efficiency while still collecting high-quality data that can be summarized and shared.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will have the information to develop their own forest monitoring program to effectively collect and share data that advances science-based forest management.
Attendees will be asked to share their experiences with monitoring, limitations, and what they need to participate in adaptive management effectively.
