Abstract:
Part of year three of "The Forest Service and Communities: The Relationships Between Land and People in the Pacific Northwest Region" [Ecosystem Workforce Program Working Paper #72]. This document is one of three products created for the third year of the project, which are
collectively classified as EWP Working Paper #95. The forested landscape of the Pacific Northwest is integral to the economy of the region. In this document, we show the prevalence of federal forestland across Washington and Oregon, and how both state’s forest industry and related economies have changed over the years, with a focus on current conditions.
