| dc.description.abstract | The USDA Forest Service (Forest Service) has implemented several initiatives to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration on national forests east of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington. Collectively, these initiatives fall under the Eastside Restoration Strategy of the Pacific Northwest Region of the Forest Service. The early initiatives of the Eastside Strategy, beginning in late 2012/early 2013, focused primarily on eastern Oregon, with specific emphasis on the Blue Mountains region of northeastern Oregon through the creation of the Blue Mountains planning team and implementation of the Malheur 10-year stewardship contract. The Blue Mountains planning team is focused on developing new ways of doing business to complete National Environmental Policy Act planning over larger areas and with shorter timeframes. The 10-year stewardship contract is aimed at increasing restoration treatment on the Malheur National Forest and supporting improved economic conditions in Grant and Harney counties. | en_US |
