The Southwestern Crown Collaborative (SWCC) is one of 24 Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) projects across the nation currently. In the CFLRP projects, collaborators and other partners work with the Forest Service to implement restoration work and multi-party monitoring of the restoration. The Forest Landscape Restoration Act (FLRA) of 2009 (16 U.S.C. 7303), which enabled the CFLRP, requires monitoring ‘‘to assess the positive or negative ecological, social, and economic effects of projects implementing a selected proposal for not less than 15 years after project implementation commences.’’ The proposed information collection will help meet the CFLRP projects’ obligation for monitoring the social impacts on residents and stakeholders of activities conducted under the CFLRP. It is critical for managers to understand the social impacts of their decisions to allow for adaptive management and improve future outcomes.
