Book excerpt: PBP is an emergent method of public lands planning that aims to redefine the scale at which planning occurs, using place meanings and place values to guide planning processes. There exist few published accounts of PBP approaches. To provide such examples, this compilation outlines the historical background, planning rationale, and public involvement processes from four National Forest (NF) System areas: The Beaverhead-Deerlodge NF in Montana; the Willamette NF in Oregon; the Chugach NF in Alaska; and the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison NF in Colorado. These examples include assessments of the successes and challenges encountered in each approach. Illus. A print on demand report.
