Increased public involvement in national forest management is a primary emphasis of the USDA Forest Service's shift to ecosystem management. Application of economic theory and methods to participation decisions, eliciting relative public values, and institutional processes can contribute to this shift. Specifically, economists can (1) examine current and proposed public involvement processes, and (2) assess tradeoffs the public is willing to make with respect to choices and options for ecosystem management. While public values must be balanced with other objectives for managing public lands, a better understanding of these values and tradeoffs is essential to informed decisionmaking.
