Abstract

The Lakeview Stewardship Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project is one of 23 CFLR projects in the U.S. It was one of 13 projects that was awarded funding by the Forest Service in 2012 with an 8-year funding commitment; 10 projects were previously awarded in 2010 with 10-year funding commitments. The project encompasses over 650,000 acres on the Fremont-Winema National Forest and is designed to improve forest health and reduce wildfire hazard while contributing to the social and economic wellbeing of local communities. To accomplish these objectives, a variety of restoration activities are conducted, including forest thinning work, prescribed fire, invasive species management, forest or wildlife surveys, road decommissioning, riparian restoration, and habitat enhancement. These activities may be conducted by Forest Service staff as well as by partners. The Lakeview Stewardship CFLR Project has been designed and implemented by the Fremont-Winema National Forest and the Lakeview Stewardship Group, and the two entities work together to plan ongoing activities and monitor impacts of the project over time.... The goals of this current report are to summarize results for the socioeconomic monitoring questions for the FY 2016–17 project years, present these results alongside those from previous monitoring efforts where possible, and highlight accomplishments since the beginning of the project.
