| dc.description.abstract | Forest and watershed restoration work is closely tied to the history and identity of Oregon’s South Coast, which has long relied on its woods and waters for forestry, fishing, agriculture, and sustenance. Declines in these industries and the vitality of South Coast landscapes have prompted new forms of stewardship to restore ecological structure and function, and create resilient local economies. Although this work has helped produce diverse environmental benefits, its economic impacts have been less well understood. Illuminating these economic impacts can help draw increased investments to regions like the South Coast and magnify the benefits of restoration for rural workers, businesses, and communities. With this in mind, we documented trends in restoration funding and types of work on the South Coast from 2001 to 2010; the role of restoration in supporting local businesses; the challenges that these businesses face; and the economic and employment impacts of restoration. From this, we developed recommendations for supporting and expanding the local restoration industry. | en_US |
