The identification of urban and rural priority areas is a requirement of all statewide assessments of forest resources, as specified in the S&PF Redesign guidance developed by the USDA Forest Service: State forest resource assessments will identify, describe, and spatially define forest landscape areas where forestry program outreach and activity will be emphasized and coordinated. Establishment of these priority areas is intended to (1) enable the efficient, strategic, and focused use of limited program resources; (2) address current state and national resource management priorities; and (3) produce the most benefit in terms of critical forest resource values and public benefits. This component of a states assessment should be geospatially based. Mapped priority areas provide a method for focusing on areas where federal investment can most effectively stimulate or leverage desired action and engage multiple partners. Mapping must enable the discovery of multistate areas in which collaboration can lead to stronger outcomes. Accomplishments using federal funds may be evaluated against priority areas to determine the effectiveness of S&PF program implementation. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>Threats to Forest Health (FIGURE 1b-4) The Forest Health Priority map shows areas of North Carolina currently at a moderate to high risk of damage from insects and diseases, both native and/or established and imminent invasive threats. The specific pests used to develop this map are as follows: southern pine beetle, littleleaf disease, annosus root rot, fusiform rust, hemlock woolly adelgid, balsam woolly adelgid, beech bark disease, redbay ambrosia beetlelaurel wilt, emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, and sirex woodwasp. As the map shows, both rural and urban landscapes across the state will likely see negative impacts from these pests. Although climate change is an important factor in modeling future impacts to forest health, much of the data is very coarse and was consequently left out of this analysis.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
