Forest land is land that is at least 10 percent on the IWFIA inventory sample (USDA 1995). The data stocked (or formerly stocked) with live tally tree species could be summarized in other ways for different purposes and is greater than 1 acre in size and 120 feet wide.

On the Coconino, 53 percent of the total forest land is timberland while 47 percent is woodland.

The first section of this report presents summaries of timber and woodland species for all forest land, including reserved designations. The sub- sequent section addresses nonreserved lands only and includes estimates for timber species sampled on the Coconino. Total forest land: highlights of our inventory Forest type—Forest resources are often de- scribed using a forest type classification. Forest type refers to the predominant tree species in a stand, based on plurality of tree stocking. Stocking is an expression of the extent to which growing space is effectively utilized by live trees. Figure 2 presents the distribution of forest land area on the Coconino by forest type. The ponderosa pine forest type is the most common forest type, compris- by forest type for 255 plots that contained at least one for- ing nearly 48 percent of the total forest land area.

Report # SC-IMBCR-06 Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Connecting people, birds and land Mission: Conserving birds and their habitats through science, education and land stewardship Vision: Native bird populations are sustained in healthy ecosystems Bird Conservancy of the Rockies conserves birds and their habitats through an integrated approach of science, education and land stewardship. Our work radiates from the Rockies to the Great Plains, Mexico and beyond. Our mission is advanced through sound science, achieved through empowering people, realized through stewardship and sustained through partnerships. Together, we are improving native bird populations, the land and the lives of people. Core Values: 1. Science provides the foundation for effective bird conservation. 2. Education is critical to the success of bird conservation. 3. Stewardship of birds and their habitats is a shared responsibility. Goals: 1. Guide conservation action where it is needed most by conducting scientifically rigorous monitoring and research on birds and their habitats within the context of their full annual cycle. 2. Inspire conservation action in people by developing relationships through community outreach and science-based, experiential education programs. 3. Contribute to bird population viability and help sustain working lands by partnering with landowners and managers to enhance wildlife habitat. 4. Promote conservation and inform land management decisions by disseminating scientific knowledge and developing tools and recommendations. Suggested Citation: White, C. M., M. F. McLaren, N. J.

On the Kaibab National Forest, restrictions will apply only to the Williams and Tusayan Ranger Districts. Fire restrictions will not yet be implemented on the North Kaibab Ranger District due to different weather and fuels conditions. Under the restrictions, fires, campfires, charcoal, coal and wood stoves are allowed in developed campgrounds only. The restrictions also limit smoking to within enclosed vehicles or buildings or in developed campgrounds. Using a device that is solely fueled by liquid petroleum or LPG fuels that can be turned on and off is allowed in areas that are clear of flammable materials. Fireworks are always prohibited on all national forest lands. On the Prescott National Forest, campfires are not allowed at the designated dispersed sites within the Prescott Basin. Metal posts identify designated dispersed sites with a number. Implementation of fire restrictions is especially important this year given the dry winter and impacts of long-term drought on the forests.
