The LRATC will participate in developing a compensation system for restrictions on forestry activities, establishing  demonstration areas in regards to sustainable forest management in private lands, as well as in developing solutions for invasive species identification in the forest. Concerning invasive species, this will include control methods and running a small grant program for landowners to test methods for the eradiction of invasive species in forests.
