enhance local resource management
efforts by helping public officials, land
managers, and civic stewards connect to
local stewardship groups.
STEW–MAP is being led by
researchers from the Forest Service in
partnership with researchers from
universities and nongovernment
organizations. The exact makeup of the
research team will vary from location to
location where STEW–MAP is
conducted. The Forest Service Research
and Development branch is authorized
to conduct basic scientific research to
improve the health of forests and
rangelands involving State, Federal,
Tribal agencies, and private landowners
across multiple jurisdictions including
in urban areas. The study is aligned
with the U.S. Department of Agriculture
policy of an ‘‘all-lands approach’’ to
resource management, which ‘‘requires
land managers to work across
jurisdictions and land-use types,
viewing forests landscapes as an
integrated whole, both ecologically and
socially’’ (National Report on
Sustainable Forests, 2010). This all
lands approach applies to urban
ecosystems as well. Our project goals
are also consistent with the Forest
Service, Urban and Community Forestry
(UCF) program, which focus on urban
forest ecosystems and the role of
stewardship and trail connections to
parks and public lands that promote
health and sustainability for urban
residents. This study seeks to identify
opportunities for stewardship
organizations to better collaborate and,
thus, be more effective in the
stewardship of all natural areas.
Due to local geographical and/or
cultural differences, and to meet the
needs of any particular collaborative
effort, we may tailor the survey and
interview questions to accommodate the
unique requirements of individual
communities.
Affected Public: Representatives from
civic environmental stewardship
groups, and from State, local, or Tribal
Governments.
