Future Landscape Condition
for
Eastern Ontario
Development of local level indicators and State of the Forest Monitoring and Reporting has provided a framework for defining the "desired future landscape condition". The establishment of sustainability thresholds or natural ranges of variation is one step in establishing community-based targets for indicators. It is only through community consultation and an iterative process of assessing various landscape condition scenarios that we can establish targets or at least a desired trend direction for indicators of a sustainable forest landscape. The EOMF is comprised of 88% private land, therefore, the vision developed for the desired future forest condition will provide a common landscape context for the collective actions of thousands of landowners, and numerous non-government organizations and government agencies.
