Flexible, Voluntary Guidelines To Meet Your Particular Needs The intent of these guidelines is to provide you with as much flexibility-and choice-as possible in taking steps to balance forest management goals and resource sustainability: The guidelines provide a diversity of options for meeting forest management objectives while also maintaining forest sustainability. The guidelines are designed to be flexible, recognizing that resource needs, site capabilities and landowner objectives vary. In the end, determining the most appropriate guidelines for your particular site depends on your informed judgment - as the landowner responsible for your property. Implementation of the guidelines is voluntary for landowners.		What Sustainability Means Addressing the complex challenges that you face must begin with an understanding of the concept of sustainability and what it means for you: Sustainable forestry is a proactive form of management that provides for multiple uses of the forest by balancing a diversity of both present and future needs. Sustainability is a process of informed decision-making that takes into account resource needs, landowner objectives, site capabilities, existing regulations, economics and the best information available at any given time. Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
