%X A multi-objective forest management process employing mathematical programming and the analytic hierarchy process has been developed for systematically incorporating public input. The process was tested as a ¡°proof of concept¡± for four values and five stakeholders in Crown License 5 in New Brunswick. The impacts of tradeoffs among various weighting schemes were evaluated. Analyses of stakeholders¡¯ expected satisfaction were conducted for each scenario. The forest management implications of different weighting methods are discussed.
