The extent to which communities realize benefits from restoration depends on availability of work opportunities, capacity of local businesses to capture these opportunities, and how and where the work takes place. Assessments of these factors have helped build stronger understanding of restoration industries in many communities across the Northwest. We performed an “ecosystem workforce assessment” for the Sweet Home All-Lands Collaborative (SHALC). SHALC is a diverse group of local leaders in western Oregon that formed in summer 2012. Its purpose is to collaboratively coordinate land and watershed management in the Sweet Home area, and support economic activity from restoration. We examined selected trends in restoration and its economic impacts in Linn County, Oregon from 2004 to 2012, and developed a series of recommendations to increase impacts.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USForest restorationWatershed restorationEconomic developmentLinn County (Or.)Working Paper
