10. Compliance –Did they follow the legal requirements? Implementation –Did they implement the desired forest practise? Effectiveness –Are the forest practices achieving the desired result? Validation –Are the assumptions about the desired results scientifically valid? Evaluation types: FRPA Resource Evaluation Program
