Forest Management on State Lands

Coordination of forest management activities among the three EEA land management agencies is accomplished through an "ecoregion" planning process, whereby ecological and sociological assessments and subsequent management guidelines are developed. The ecoregion documents help guide the development of land management plans for individual state-owned properties.
