NWSI 2024 Wilderness Character Monitoring Trend Assessment

Description:
This session will be focused on what happens after the WCM baseline has been completed and a five-year cycle of WCM Trend Assessments begin. Kristy and Christina will discuss how to utilize the years between completion of your baseline assessment and first five-year trend assessment for data management, reporting, and monitoring priorities. We will explain how trends will be calculated and will provide an overview of how to prepare for and complete a five-year trend assessment report and share templates and resources available to support this work.
