The objective of the Landscape Guide is to direct forest management activities to maintain or enhance natural landscape structure, composition and patterns that provide for the long term health of forest ecosystems in an efficient and effective manner. For the purposes of this guide, 'landscape' describes an area covering hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands of square kilometers, roughly equivalent to ecoregions. In this report you will learn about the Landscape Guide and it's development, how to apply the Landscape Guide in a Forest Management Plan, as well as details on how to monitor, evaluate and review the Landscape Guide. Information  on applying the Guide specifically in the context of woodland caribou conservation is covered in Section 3.2.
