| dc.description.abstract | Utilizing woody biomass from public lands may help reduce agency costs, enhance community wildfire protection, and create employment and economic activity. Yet communities adjacent to public land often lack the business capacity to harvest and utilize biomass. Businesses face challenges such as limited access to capital and markets, technical assistance, and inconsistent material supply. From 2005–2010, the USDA Forest Service’s Woody Biomass Utilization Grant program provided resources to address these barriers. We evaluated the impacts of this program on business capacity in eastern Oregon. | en_US |
