Abstract

In 2000, as a response to rising social expectations in forest areas, a French region (the Limousin), in partnership with the State, initiated an innovative regional framework for establishing sustainable forest management. This initially involved the launch of two forestry programmes on a regional basis – the creation of a forestry charter for the Périgord-Limousin Regional Nature Park, and a programme of planned forestry management sponsored by the Limousin Regional Centre for Forest Property (CRPF). The broader aim of the regional framework was to establish a beacon of sustainable forestry management, which could be transferred elsewhere in France. The purpose of this article is to provide an evaluation of the utility of this regional sustainable development framework and, in particularly, the continuous assessment approach that was used as a key policy instrument for supporting collective learning amongst participants. The argument underpinning this aim is two-fold: first, to demonstrate the benefits of continuous assessment in helping to establish a sustainable development policy; and, second, to highlight the importance of a regional perspective in embedding an effective sustainable development policy.
