The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is seeking input on its rangeland management program.
The agency requests that permittees answer a three-question survey to determine how to improve the program.
“We want input on what we are doing right so that we may keep doing that,” USFS said in the questionnaire. “We also want constructive input on what isn’t working so well and what might be working OK now but might not work so well in the future.”
The agency asks that “rather than jumping to solutions,” permittees focus on identifying what isn’t working and why.
The three questions in the survey are: “What is the Forest Service Rangeland Management Program getting right as it relates to you as a permittee?” and “What do you see as challenges or roadblocks that stand in your way of a successful relationship with the Forest Service Rangeland Management Program?” and “What issues do we need to address to keep the program relevant, resilient, and sustainable?”
Questionnaires are due by Nov. 30 and can be accessed here.
Answers may also be emailed to SM.FS.RngMgmtWO@usda.gov or mailed to Gilbert Jackson, USDA Forest Service, Rangeland Management Program, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Yates Bldg., 3rd floor, Washington, D.C., 20250-1103.
