Abstract
The Pacific Northwest Region of the Forest Service’s
“Eastside Restoration Strategy” aimed
to improve forest health conditions by accelerating
the pace and scale of restoration on national
forests in eastern Oregon and Washington. As part
of this effort, the Regional Office created a dedicated
interdisciplinary Blue Mountains Restoration
Strategy Team (ID Team) to conduct landscape-level
planning across four national forests and innovate
strategies to more effectively reach planning decisions.
We conducted interviews with 25 key informants,
observed meetings, analyzed documents,
and worked with an advisory group to understand
transferrable insights from the project.
