Planning Action 3: Collect
Inventory Data and
Information

Facts are a critical component in sound resource management plan-
ning. Inventory data and information collection is an ongoing
resource management activity and Is not governed solely by the
planning process. Many times it is possible to draw all information
necessary for planning from existing inventories and other sources
of information developed by BlM or by other agencies or scientific
organizations. Sometimes, however, additional information is need-
ed to respond to the issues identified. The types and levels of data
needed are established in the planning criteria. New data collec-
tion is always limited to what is necessary to resolve the planning
issue identified, to establish the condition and capability of the
resource involved, and to provide a baseline for subsequent
necessary monitoring activities.
