Printed on Recycled Paper Monitoring Report From the Forest Supervisor I am pleased to share with you the most recent White Mountain National Forest Monitoring Report, addressing work done in Fiscal Year 2007. Our Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) is the principal tool for preserving, protecting, and managing the resources that comprise the White Mountain National Forest, revised in 2005. It makes six programmatic decisions that govern landscape-scale management of the Forest. One of those decisions concerns the monitoring and evaluation requirements that help us determine how well management direction is being met, and are the basis for periodic evaluation and amending of the Forest Plan.
