Outcome-Based Forestry: A Case Study of the First Private Landowner’s Implementation of an Alternative to Maine’s Forest Practices Act

Goal(s)/Objective(s): Determine how participating landowners were incorporating OBF policy into their forest management planning and operations; learn how they were ensuring that the required outcomes under the agreement were being achieved; determine the effects of IW's enrollment in OBF, as perceived by their forest managers, upon IW as a corporation, upon society, and upon the foresters implementing the policy; determine if harvest plans created under the contraints of OBF produce lower rates of fragmentation compared to FPA harvest plans for the same landscape
Key Findings: OBF harvests more closely followed stand boundaries, fractured fewer stands, and maintained higher mean stand area, the spatial arrangement of harvesting is a critical factor in lowering fragmentation
