Book Description
Excerpt from The Forest Service Meets the Public: Decision-Making and Public Involvement on the Coconino National Forest Development of long-range plans and poli cies, important though they undoubtedly are, usually receives very little public attention. The public usually does not react to planning because there are no specific short-run out comes to focus upon; the long-run aspects bore people. The following three examples of land use planning on the Coconino National Forest indicate this, but provide some insight into the results of not having public input at early stages.

Book Description
Federal agencies have taken steps to include the public in a wide range of environmental decisions. Although some form of public participation is often required by law, agencies usually have broad discretion about the extent of that involvement. Approaches vary widely, from holding public information-gathering meetings to forming advisory groups to actively including citizens in making and implementing decisions. Proponents of public participation argue that those who must live with the outcome of an environmental decision should have some influence on it. Critics maintain that public participation slows decision making and can lower its quality by including people unfamiliar with the science involved. This book concludes that, when done correctly, public participation improves the quality of federal agencies' decisions about the environment. Well-managed public involvement also increases the legitimacy of decisions in the eyes of those affected by them, which makes it more likely that the decisions will be implemented effectively. This book recommends that agencies recognize public participation as valuable to their objectives, not just as a formality required by the law. It details principles and approaches agencies can use to successfully involve the public.
