HomeMy Public PortalAbout2.5-CM July Report AttachmentAbout the Idaho Forest Action Plan (FAP)
The Idaho Forest Action Plan Resource Assessment was developed by the Idaho Department of Lands
(IDL) in partnership with many other agencies and organizations. This assessment is a key element in the
redesign of the USDA Forest Service's State and Private Forestry and is a requirement within the 2008
Farm Bill for states receiving funding through the USDA Forest Service for State and Private Forestry
programs. Its purpose is to ensure that federal and state resources are focused on landscape areas with
the greatest opportunity to address shared priorities and achieve measurable outcomes.
The Forest Resource Assessment provides a geospatial analysis of conditions and trends for all forested
lands in Idaho. Threats to and benefits from forest resources were identified and form the foundation of
the analysis. A companion Statewide FAP Resource Strategy addresses the issues and priority areas
identified in this assessment. The FAP Resource Strategy identifies activities and approaches for
protection, restoration and enhancement of forest resources in priority landscapes.
Currently, IDL is in the process of developing an updated 2020 version of the Forest Action Plan,
scheduled to be completed by the end of CY2019. For additional information, visit IDL's Idaho
Forest Action Plan website at: http://www.idl.idaho.gov/bureau/ForestAssist/safr/safr-final.html
