Plan Update and Review:

The Bureau of Parks and Lands has completed the second five-Year Review of the 2009 Aroostook Hills Region Management Plan covering the period from August 2014 through August 2019. The Integrated Resource Policy (IRP) requires that the Bureau, at five year intervals, report to the Advisory Committee on accomplishments and changing conditions that may warrant amendments to the plan.

The Five-Year Review is prepared in a table format. It is linked below as a PDF under Management Plan Review Documents. It:

  • Lists plan recommendations (left column), and
  • Actions taken to implement each recommendation (right column), and
  • Identifies, from the Bureau's perspective, any issues any new issues or circumstances that were not addressed in the plan that may warrant Committee discussion or action (at end of table).

The Five-Year Review table was sent to Advisory Committee Members on September 20, 2019.

The Bureau identified no new issues that were not addressed in the plan or that warranted Committee input.

The Bureau asked AC members for comments on the review table and to identify any new issues or circumstances that they believe may require Committee input or action. Written comments were accepted for three weeks following the email distribution of the review materials. One comment was received on the report. A Final Report on the Five-Year Review, summarizing the review process and the Bureau’s response to comment was sent to the Advisory Committee on October 28, 2019.
