The development and implementation of the AFR Multi-Party Monitoring Plan is managed by the AFR Partnership.

Collaborating with local stakeholders, the Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy lead the development of monitoring protocols, and oversee data collection of important key indicators of forest health. Using these quantitative measurements, the AFR partners make necessary adjustments to management actions and restoration work along the way in order to ensure preservation of watershed values. Read the updated Monitoring Plan and look over the Multi-party Monitoring Poster.
