Abstract
Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) Federal Forest Restoration (FFR) Program looks forward to playing a role in implementing
Oregon’s 20-year Landscape Resiliency Strategy, which has identified over five million acres of forestland as a top priority for
treatment due to high wildfire risk, and other ecological and social factors. 57% of these priority geographies are under federal
jurisdiction. The FFR Program’s federal partnership and work with forest collaboratives will play a key role in helping realize the
strategy.
The work of the FFR Program is also guided by the Oregon state law ORS 526.275 which created “…the policy of the state to
pursue projects under the [Good Neighbor Authority] that increase timber harvest volume, contribute to job creation, reduce
wildfire risks to all lands, improve wildlife habitat and watershed health, and stimulate local economies.”
For this biennium, the FFR Program will be releasing four fact sheets roughly every six months containing program updates,
activities and outcomes instead of one comprehensive monitoring report released prior to the end of the biennium. After June
30, 2025, the program will publish a comprehensive report that captures all activities within the 2023-25 biennium.
