Understanding Forest Planning Processes: Time Frames, Specificity, and Adaptive Management

This document explores the three key forest planning processes: strategic, tactical, and operational plans. It highlights their differences in terms of time frames and specificity of information. Strategic plans are long-term and broad in scope, while tactical plans are shorter and more refined. Operational plans focus on specific tasks within short time frames. Additionally, it features Weyerhaeuser’s adaptive management planning approach in Drayton Valley, Alberta, and illustrates the information flow in a timber company, showcasing how data management supports effective planning and implementation.
