|
|
|
The Center provides natural resource planning expertise to Native American Indian tribes to develop Integrated Resource Management Plans (IRMP) that provide management goals and objectives for natural and cultural resources. The planning effort includes community involvement through surveys and workshops to help tribes develop a vision for the future of their nation, pueblo, community, or reservation and the planning tools to achieve it.
A full list of projects under this category can be found in the Center's project database.

Integrated Resource Management Plan
Round Valley Indian Tribes, Mendocino County, California |

The Center completed a comprehensive planning effort with the Round Valley Indian Tribes to develop planning goals and objectives for their natural, cultural and human resources. The Center prepared an exhaustive inventory of existing resource conditions and planning issues and conducted a community survey to assess management priorities and concerns of the tribal community. Through a series of focus groups and management workshops, planning goals and objectives were prepared and reviewed by the Tribal Council. Existing plans such as the Forest Management Plan and the Rangeland Grazing Management Plan were incorporated into the IRMP and the Center developed a Land Use Plan for future growth. |
