Stewardship contracting allows the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to achieve land management goals like forest restoration while meeting community needs. It requires collaboration in planning and implementation and awards contracts based on best value. It allows goods to be traded for services, retained receipts from projects to be used on others, bundling of projects, and long-term contracts up to 10 years to increase efficiency. The document considers if stewardship contracting would be worth using for the Wrangell Project.
