The Challenge “It’s in The Plan. Now what?”
• Moving from ES theory to practice requires agreement on what we are talking about
• Currently there is no system nor consensus on what ecosystem services are, nor what objectives are trying to be reached.
• This work is often place-based and context-specific

Historical Overview
2009 – NRCS includes specific reference to “ecosystem services” in rule revisions
July 2011 – PCAST issues recommendations for the U.S. Federal Government “to fulfill more effectively….[its] responsibility in relation to the protection of environmental capital and ecosystem services.”

Historical Overview
April 2012 -- U.S. Forest Service Planning Rule
“…to maintain and restore NFS land and water ecosystems while providing for ecosystem services.….[and] the sustainability of ecosystems and resources; meet the need for forest restoration and conservation, watershed protection, and species diversity and conservation; and assist the Agency in providing a sustainable flow of benefits, services, and uses of NFS lands that provide jobs and contribute to the local economic and social sustainability of communities.” – 36 CFR Part 219; April 9, 2012

Historical Overview
September 2010– National Park Service
• Climate Change Mitigation Strategy includes ecosystem services in context of carbon sequestration
Winter 2012 – Yosemite National Park
• 2 high profile river plans, the Merced River Plan and the Tuolumne River Plan, are expected to include explicit reference to ecosystem services

Examples of Potential ES Objectives
Measure, quantify, and value ES for inclusion in a strategy to prioritize
restoration and
protection
Aggregate ES over space
and time for land use planning
Evaluate trade-offs
among management
options
Develop an ES
accounting system

…and ES “bonus” objectives
Communication and
Education Tool
Facilitate collaboration between
agencies and organizations
Build a common language
for working between
disciplines
Build relationships between
stakeholder groups

• Transdisciplinary
• Community engagement
• Resilient
• Cohesive and coherent
• Policy-relevant
