Inspector's Corner 2018
Highlighting the 2018 Assessment Findings
Field visits for the 2018 third-party assessment have officially wrapped up. Thank you to the states that participated and helped to ensure a smooth process. While many great practices were highlighted, the assessment identified a few areas that needed improvement. The non-compliance of Best Management Practices (BMPs) as well as incorrect content located in a few management plans were both noted. However, thanks to inspectors and state committee members, these issues were quickly addressed and actions to resolve are underway. As a reminder, please emphasize to landowners enrolled in ATFS that following BMP’s is required for all state programs. ATFS understands the tedious process of updating forest management plans and cleaning databases. We greatly appreciate your hard work, as we strive to support you. Contact Laura Bosworth if you have any questions about the 2018 assessment.
