has found to be especially well done.
- National Management Measures
to Control Nonpoint Source Pollution from Forestry
This draft guidance is intended to provide technical assistance to State, local, and tribal program managers and others on the best available, economically achievable means of reducing nonpoint source pollution of surface and ground water from forestry activities. The public comment period ended on September 27, 2001 and a final document is expected to be issued in Fall 2002. Inquiries may be sent to Christopher Solloway of EPA's Nonpoint Source Control Branch at solloway.chris@epa.gov.

and the Forest Service (PDF)

quantity, quality, timing of release, flood reductions and low
flow augmentation, economic value of water from national forest
lands, and economic benefits of tree cover for stormwater reduction
in urban areas.
- National
Fire Plan: Rehabilitation and Restoration
The USFS National Fire Plan includes a significant emphasis on
rehabilitation and restoration of watersheds with the goal of
closely matching historical or pre-fire ecosystem structure, function
and diversity and dynamics. Restoration projects focus on restoring
watershed function, including protection of basic soil, water
resources, biological communities, and prevention of invasive
species.
- Canada's Model Forest Program
Canada's Model Forest Program builds local, national, and international
partnerships for sustainable forest management. The Model Forest
program was created by the Canadian government to preserve forests
by applying new knowledge and technologies. A model forest demonstrates
the collaboration of partners working on achieving sustainable
forest management.
