These groups function on the basis of dialogue among diverse stakeholders regarding their interests and values for forest management priorities on a given area of public forest land, and may offer input before and during the environmental analysis required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA process) by making recommendations for the use of retained receipts from stewardship contracting, and/or by providing zones of agreement, restoration principles, or other statements about management issues beyond the project scale. Although they generally do not possess any formal decision-making authority, their efforts are considered to be important in building social agreement for programs of work on federal forestlands. This study analyzed the use and outcomes of the State of Oregon’s investments in these forest collaborative groups through Collaborative Capacity Grants made by the Federal Forest Restoration Program from state fiscal years 2014-2019.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USForest managementForest restorationWatershed restorationUnited States.
