This study presents an economic model for designing and selecting an optimal reforestation program. Given an initial set of resource and policy constraints, the model permits the user to select simultaneously the best set of reforestation projects to execute, the method of reforestation to employ, and the best initial stocking in new plantations. The model was developed for use by managers of large-scale, public land reforestation programs in the Douglas-fir Region of the Western United States.
