dc.description.abstract |
Restoration contracts and timber sales on
national forests and grasslands can generate
economic activity and social benefits
in nearby communities. The extent to which local
communities realize these benefits depends on
the amount of work contracted, the type of work
contracted, and the ability of local businesses to
bid on and receive the work. The Ochoco Forest
Restoration Collaborative was interested in understanding
the contracting trends, local awards, and
local contractor capacity for restoration contracts
and timber sales on the Ochoco National Forest. To
address these interests, we performed a workforce
assessment on the forest, considering both data
trends and local contractor perspectives. We used
Forest Service restoration contracting data, timber
sales data, and contractor interviews to better understand
how the Forest Service contracts with local
businesses on the Ochoco National Forest. |
