Stakeholder Coordination
The Statewide Forest Assessment & Strategy was developed with partners and stakeholders to ensure that the State Assessment (1) integrates, builds upon, and complements other state natural resource assessments and plans and (2) identifies opportunities for program coordination and integration, and (3) strengthens partnerships to benefit Indiana's forests.
The Indiana Forest Stewardship Advisory Council, an established group representing a range of forestry interests in Indiana, has participated in the planning process along with a broader group of forest stakeholders (list of stakeholders – survey respondents).
Partners are encouraged to contribute updates in this planning process and help facilitate coordinated efforts in the interest of Indiana’s forests. Please email suggestions, comments, and events to: stateassessment@dnr.in.gov
Opportunities for continued stakeholder involvement, public meetings, and review documents will be listed on this website. Previous coordination and stakeholder involvement may be reviewed on the following webpages:
