The purpose of the CFRI Monitoring Handbook and Video Series is to provide guidance for the development and implementation of forest monitoring plans. Field monitoring and supporting adaptive management have been integral to Colorado Forest Restoration Institute (CFRI) since its inception in 2005, and this handbook incorporates recommendations from the experience gained over the years.

In this handbook and video series, Research Associates and Monitoring Crew Leaders describe the full monitoring process from developing monitoring questions to selecting protocols and data management procedures.

CFRI hopes to empower forest managers, field staff, and interested entities to track management outcomes and long-term changes in forested environments by showing the monitoring process. The handbook and video series aim to equip this audience with the tools to develop an effective forest monitoring plan and establish standardized methods to create more opportunities for analysis and peer learning.
