How to define urban park relevance? Examining and integrating US National Park Service and partner views on the goal of “relevance to all Americans”
Park agencies must consider their engagement strategies’ relevance. Urban and local relevance are enduring foci. Agencies thus collaborate with partners serving urban, local audiences to bridge the park-community boundary. Yet, relevance is relative. How, then, can views on park relevance from an agency and its partners be reconciled for a collaborative view of parks’ cityscape contributions? We examined this conundrum within the Urban Agenda of …
Incorporating Biocultural Approaches in Forest Management
Biocultural approaches promote consideration of diverse values and cultural practices into resource management. However, cultural inclusion in North American forest management is limited. Drawing on a case study of Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq communities in Maine, USA and New Brunswick, Canada, we examine the practice of plant gathering, including associated values and cultural norms. Through interviews and participant observation, we find that gath…
The Northern Forest Canoe Trail
Recreation is increasingly promoted as a sustainable means of diversifying rural economies, yet few studies have explored how the characteristics of a recreational activity and its economic impact can vary significantly between communities. This research examined the economic impact of paddler recreation in six communities along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Results indicate that approximately 90,000 visitors paddled the waterways in 2006. The…
Access to Natural Resources on Private Property
Discussions of access to natural resources on private lands in the United States often focus on property rights and ownership. In Maine, changing ownership of private forestland has been associated with increased posting against trespass. This raises concerns about the terms of physical entry to land for resource use. While the right of entry is an important component of access to natural resources, other factors also affect access. Building on a…
Does Science Matter? Resource Planning in the Green Mountain National Forest
Conflict between stakeholders can impede implementation of national forest management plans, as was the case in the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont. To promote discussion among stakeholders, several meetings were held, some of which provided an opportunity to examine the role of science in resource planning. Credible scientists with different perspectives gave presentations and engaged in discussion with stakeholders. Findings suggest t…
An Owner's Manual to “Ownership”
In a recent article in Society & Natural Resources, Lachapelle and McCool (2005) argue for developing the concept of “ownership” to address challenges and shortcomings in natural resource planning
Property Concepts, Ecological Thought, and Ecosystem Management
Ecosystem management focuses on dynamic processes that cross boundaries. The consequent need to work across boundaries clashes with notions of property. Beginning in 1996, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources reformulated its land acquisition policy to incorporate newly articulated ecological goals that parallel those of ecosystem management. The process triggered a debate about property rights and the role of the state in promoting ecological…
Current Directions for Environmental Policy and Management
Trust and Understanding in Participatory Policy Analysis
Participatory policy analysis (PPA) has been recommended as a means for better informing the policy process and reinvigorating citizen participation in government decisionmaking. This study analyzes the Vermont Forest Resources Advisory Council (FRAC), a stakeholder form of PPA, to assess trust and understanding, which PPA proponents suggest is important for democratic governance. Findings indicate that process design and the roles of science and…
Discourse and Argument in Bureau of Land Management Wilderness Environmental Impact Statements
This study examines argument as a link between technical information and policy recommendations in wilderness environmental impact statements (EISs) produced by the Bureau of Land Management. As the EISs went from draft to final form, their structure and content changed. The changes reflect a shift to incorporate wilderness protection into the policy agenda for public lands. The analysis suggests that EISs can be understood as a form of argumenta…
Interpreting Roads in Roadless Areas
This article examines how Bureau of Land Management personnel interpreted roads in the context of wilderness policy implementation. It assesses ambiguity of and change in policy using three frameworks from the organizational culture literature. The frameworks emphasize (a) shared understandings, (b) differences among agency units, and (c) fragmentation within units. The analysis shows how interpretations of roads are shaped by existing understand…
