analysis of forest conditions and trends in Idaho. The Idaho SAFR 
identifies seven main issues affecting Idaho forestlands (threats and 
potential benefits). Potential threats to forests include forest health 
decline, uncharacteristic wildfire, development pressure and recreation 
in undesignated areas. Potential benefits include sustainable wood-based
 forest resource markets, water quality &amp; quantity, air quality, and
 wildlife habitat and biodiversity. A series of sub-issue datasets 
inform each of the primary issues. Together, statewide data and local 
knowledge identified areas in Idaho where these threats and benefits 
pointed to the highest need for investment and work. These areas of 
multiple high priority concerns and potential benefits were designated 
as Priority Landscape Areas (PLAs) and include urban, rural, and 
wildland urban-interface (WUI) lands. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Note that the SAFR utilized the best available statewide data. Because 
the SAFR is statewide in scale, it does not identify every area in which
 an issue may be found. Local geospatial data may present a different 
characterization of the issues. The SAFR report describes each issue, 
the sub-issues each was comprised of, the data used and how it was 
modeled, and data considered but not used and why. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In addition to the Idaho State Forest Resource Assessment report, 
information on the development of the SAFR, including meeting minutes, 
interim reports and more can be found on the SAFR website at: <a href='http://www.idl.idaho.gov/bureau/ForestAssist/safr_index.html' rel='nofollow ugc' target='viewer'>www.idl.idaho.gov/bureau/ForestAssist/safr_index.html</a>. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>
Geospatial data for the seven primary issues, the composite threats, 
composite benefits, final assessment map and priority landscape areas 
are also available on <a href='https://insideidaho.org' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>INSIDE Idaho</a>.  <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>These data were contributed to INSIDE Idaho at the University of Idaho Library in 2011.<br /></div>
