LF c2001

  • LF National (circa 2001) Existing Vegetation Type Agreement Assessment
  • LF National (circa 2001) External Review Agreement Assessment
    • LANDFIRE (LF) contracted with an external academic expert to review the LF National agreement assessment process to compare published LF agreement assessment results to those developed by a partner agency and others that were available. The contract listed the need to provide suggestions for improvements to the process and future assessments. These two unedited documents (as received from the external academic expert) precede additional follow-up reports that will summarize the information, results, and describe suggestions for future work in the LF Program. Summary reports will be posted after coordination and discussions are complete. [Phase 1] [Phase 2]
