Although they generally do not possess any formal decision-making authority, their efforts are considered 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. Investments were made with the expectation that collaborative groups would increase the pace, scale, and quality of federal forest restoration; and there is a need to understand results from supporting these groups. We examined several types of outcomes from these grants, including collaborative capacity to foster accelerated restoration, acreages and types of activities planned and implemented with collaborative input, economic impacts, and effects of grants on organizational capacity.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USOther
