Abstract

Research and management collaboration is essential to address changing forest conditions across the United States and to deliver expected benefits of healthy forests to the public. Collaboration across the research and management mission areas in the USDA Forest Service occurs at the project, regional, and national levels, and addresses multiple challenges such as specific management needs, resource allocation, and strategic planning. An increase in collaboration internally and externally was recently called for in "Toward Shared Stewardship across Landscapes: An Outcome-Based Investment Strategy" introduced by Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen and Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue in 2018.
