Innovative practices improve forest productivity while upholding ecological integrity. The development and implementation of innovative practices and tools help manage forests in a way that benefits both forest managers and the environment.

Model Forests are based on a flexible, integrated land-use approach that provides a mechanism to ensure the involvement of a wide variety of stakeholders with innovative ideas in forest planning and development. They also promote the sharing of tools, information and experiences among partners to accelerate progress toward sustainable land-use practices.
