Public Review and Comment

The "Forest and Rangeland Resource Assessment and Policy Act of 1977" requires FRAP to seek public review and comment on how critical data components are constructed. Tables were sent out to over 200 reviewers, and an interactive map (ArcIMS) was created for on-line viewing of the draft product. The review team included experts and interested parties from UC, CSU, UC Extension, federal and state agencies, counties, private consultants, CDF field staff, and providers of source data.

A response to common themes, which emerged from the external review process are provided in the link below. Many of the problems identified are in areas where the LCMMP program has yet to complete its first round of mapping, and should be corrected over time.

Review of the draft data was the first step in an ongoing process to create and eventually improve the data. Additional comments are expected once the data are released, and used in the 2002 Assessment.
