  1. FRPA RESOURCE EVALUATION PROGRAM • A partnership approach to resource stewardship monitoring and evaluations

  2. Policy Realm FRPA Compliance and Enforcement Plan & Practice Requirements Objectives Professional Reliance Effectiveness Evaluation FRPA Framework

  3. FREP Objective • …to determine if forest and range policies and practices in BC are achieving government’s objectives for FRPA resource values...

  4. How are we going to achieve our objective? • Determine status, trends and causal factors • Look at innovative strategies and results and default practices • Recommend options for change

  5. Resource Stewardship Monitoring(routine/extensive level-monitoring) • District or regional-level monitoring of on the ground practices to determine if resource value objectives or strategies are being achieved (e.g., innovative FSP and default FRPA ). • Immediate feedback to DDM • Looking for red flag • Local continuous improvement

  6. Intensive level-monitoring/evaluations • Provincial or regional-level monitoring/evaluations of on the ground practices to determine if resource value objectives or strategies are being achieved. • Investigating “red flags” in detail • Ongoing feedback to JMC, Executive, PAC • Regional/provincial continuous improvement and adaptive management

Closing the continuous improvement loop at the regional/provincial level Affecting changes to legislation, policy and guidelines: • Conduct intensive evaluations • Communicate results of monitoring and evaluations along with recommendations to decision makers • Weigh social, economic and environmental factors
