The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and its sub-contractors will collect information through an annual phone survey. The survey will query federal employees, employees of for-profit and not-for-profit institutions, employees of state and local agencies, and individual citizens who have been involved in stewardship contracting projects about their role in the development of agreement or contract plans. The information collected through the survey will be analyzed by the Pinchot Institute for Conservation and its subcontractors and used to help develop the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management report to Congress pursuant to Section 323 of Public Law 108–7.
