Abstract
Restoration contracts and timber sales to private
businesses can help the Forest Service
accomplish work on national forests while
generating economic activity and social benefits in
nearby communities. The extent to which communities
realize these benefits depends on the ability
of local businesses to bid on and receive contracts
and sales. The Southern Willamette Forest Collaborative
was interested in understanding the recent
contracting and timber sale history on the Willamette
National Forest, as well as where contractors
and purchasers are located. To address these
interests, we used Forest Service restoration service
contracting data and timber sales data to examine
how the Forest Service contracts with businesses
on the forest.
