Conflict Resolution

Every forest or wildland situation is unique. There are similarities, but because they are different, management guidance may differ for them. Different agencies and people have different goals and objectives and that too can result in suggestions being given herein that are different from those of agencies or elsewhere. Consistently, we have found that computer solutions are at least slightly different than we would have expected without the computer aid. The computer usually examines hundreds of thousands of options and selects the best ones (given the objectives and other data). It is very unlikely for a human to make the same equally precise selection, even given enough time.

Herein there is no intent to present an option that is actually or appearing to be in conflict with any consultant, agent, or agency. We are prepared to discuss differences, improve data, incorporate research findings, and re-run the analyses where it seems appropriate and useful.

Often a re-run will produce results that are not significantly different from the questioned information, thereby allowing conflicts to be avoided.
