Monitoring - Evaluation [12]
Evaluation Name:
Sustainable Recreation Evaluation
Evaluation:
Condition Classification
Three levels of condition will be used to track the progress of trending toward more sustainable recreation opportunities. These levels are composite indicators, with specific condition variables that can be directly measured, which are important attributes of recreation settings.
Improving trends in key indicators (meets desired conditions)
• Several or all key indicators have moderate to large gains. No indicators show large decline.
Maintaining trend in key indicators
• Several key indicators have small gains and some indicators may have small declines.
Negative trends in key indicators
• Several key indicators have moderate to large declines.
Condition Evaluation
MQ23. Are recreation opportunities trending toward sustainability (ecologically, financially and socially) across the forest .

Alert:
Alert: If there are negative trends determine the reason for the trends document and post on the monitoring website. Determine whether to adjust the strategy for obtaining the objectives and post the results of this assessment on the monitoring website.
Adaptive Strategy:
Adaptive Management Strategy: Conduct a district review to assess the reasons why sustainable recreation indicators are not being met, and develop an action plan to address issues and identify solutions.
