Stepping Up to the Challenge: Oregon Communities Map Landscape-Scale Restoration Success
July 2010
Oregon has 9.4 million acres of fire-dependent, public forest land in need of restoration and most National Forest and Bureau of Land Management districts have the capacity to treat only about 20,000 acres a year per forest or district. As a result, agency planners must choose restoration areas carefully to maximize their impact. In addition, community members often object to projects proposed for certain areas, even when forest health clearly indicates a need for restoration. A collaborative process addressed both of these issues. More info: Amy Waltz
