Vision & Goals
![]() Taken from the Proposed Planning Criteria and State Director Guidance Document.
VisionThe vision statement for the Western Oregon Resource Management Plan Revisions (below in italics) is carried forward from the 1995 resource management plans with minor editing. The Bureau of Land Management will manage the natural resources under its jurisdiction in western Oregon to contribute to the social well being of the human population and to help enhance and maintain the ecological health of the environment. Basic principles that support this vision include:
GoalsLand use plan decisions establish goals and objectives for resource management (desired outcomes) and the measures needed to achieve these goals and objectives (management actions and allowable uses). Goals are broad statements of desired outcomes that usually are not quantifiable. The Environmental Impact Statement will examine alternative ways to achieve the goals to the extent allowed under laws and land ownership patterns. The goals established in the Northwest Forest Plan in 1995 are still valid and will remain as the goals for the plan revisions effort. An additional goal (see Goal 3) was added to explicitly address amenities. Background information is provided for each goal to enhance understanding of the broad goals. Objectives identify specific desired outcomes for resources. Objectives are usually quantifiable and measurable. The objectives, management actions, and allowable uses for each alternative will vary to provide managers with distinct choices among potential management strategies for achieving the goals. more>>> |
