Presentation Transcript

  1. Integrating Science and ManagementSynergistic Forestry • Future/Emerging Natural Resource Issues • Population • Weather • Connected Issues: (Not all-inclusive) • Wildfire • Resource Demand/Consumption * Water * Wood Products • Wildlife Habitat

  2. Integrating Science and Management • What Is It? (Or Isn’t It) • Why Is It Important? • How Does It Start?

  3. Integrating Science and Management • What It Is/Isn’t • Active Partnering/Collaboration • Not just “communication” • Regular/ongoing sharing, dialogue, critique • Rapid “testing”, implementation of research findings/hypotheses • Constantly adapting management and research based on new information • Symbiosis • Not compromising scientific integrity/objectivity

  4. Integrating Science and Management • Why Important? • Rapid implementation and testing of research • Real/Effective Adaptive Management • Focus on what is most important/beneficial • More practicality/applicability of research • Better on-the-ground resource management • Opportunity to “stretch” research funding • Better definition of “science?”

  5. Integrating Science and Management • What is Science? • Dilemma for Managers—is all “Science” equal? How to tell/choose “Best Science?” • Weight” of science? • Role of experience? • Logic? • Geographic/ecosystem relevancy? • Consistently Better Results Achieved by Researchers and Managers Working Together

  6. Integrating Science and Management • How Does It Start? • Commonly-shared Goals • Just Do It! Important Consideration: Limited Number of Researchers

  7. Integrating Science and Management Synergistic Forestry • Vital Importance • Forest Management Complexity Increasing • Population • Weather • And all other related issues
