amazing technologies available to planners and a wide and growing
array of resources, problems, and opportunities that need
attention. Private and public interests are taking up these issues
all over the world and at all levels of involvement. At the same
time, inefficient planning policies and procedures can threaten the
art of successful planning. Demonstrating how to put effective
planning theory into practice, Introduction to Natural Resource
Planning introduces an iterative planning process with five steps
and two ongoing processes. Suitable for any type of planning
setting, the book describes each step of the planning process in
extensive practical detail. Comprising field-tested strategies
woven into a comprehensive and complete protocol, the book
explores: Planners and the planning process Establishing the
decision context, gathering evidence, plan formulation, and
evaluating, comparing, and selecting plans The importance of public
involvement Telling your story so that people understand and care
about it Dealing effectively with uncertainty as part of the
planning process Scenario planning when uncertainty obscures the
future Economics for planners: cost estimates and economic analysis
Fast planning and getting the most out of your planning process
Practical tips from experienced natural resource planners Natural
resources planning involves solving complex problems. Fascinating
new issues continue to emerge as we seek to identify and preserve
natural DNA, struggle with invasive and nonindigenous species, and
worry about the well-being of native and managed pollinators.
Meanwhile, we continue to struggle with familiar problems like
water quality, developing resources for wise uses, loss of habitat,
and floods, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. This volume
will empower both experienced and new planners to plan more
effectively for solutions to preserve and manage our natural
resources.
