. Protecting and enhancing America's forests and rangelands : 1986 research accomplishments. Forests and forestry United States; Rangelands United States. An Improved Framework for Estimating Wildland Resource Values To comply with the Renewable Resources Planning Act (RPA) of 197^i the Forest Service must inventory forest and rangeland resources and determine their economic value. It is relatively easy to assign a value to tangibles like timber or water, but some of our finest wildland assets, like outdoor recreation, cannot be measured easily. Three Rocky Mountain Station economists have been working on this problem. "Toward an Improved Framework for Estimating RPA Values," by George L. Peterson, Thomas C. Brown, and Donald H. Rosenthal, identifies and separates the important issues and provides new concepts and guidelines for assigning economic values to the varied products and uses of our Nation's forest and rangeland resources. One of the most important of several contributions is identification of subaccounts by which to estimate economic values. These subaccounts represent different objectives that may be of concern to different interest groups affected by forest planning. The results of this research will be used in the development of the 1989 RPA 90.
