Abstract

The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 included the establishment of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) Program to promote collaborative, sciencebased ecosystem restoration and benefit local rural economies. The Lakeview Stewardship Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project is one of 23 projects in the U.S. and was awarded funding by the Forest Service in 2012. The project encompasses 662,289 acres on the Fremont-Winema National Forest and is designed to increase restoration activities to both improve forest ecological health and contribute to the social and economic wellbeing of local communities. To accomplish these objectives, a variety of restoration activities such as forest thinning, prescribed fire, road decommissioning, riparian restoration, and wildlife habitat enhancement may be implemented. Together, the Fremont-Winema National Forest and the Lakeview Stewardship Group work collaboratively to design, implement, and monitor the Lakeview Stewardship Project and its activities.
