Abstract
Collaborative Capacity Grants (“collaborative
grants”) have supported forest collaborative groups
to increase restoration efforts on federal forests
statewide by enhancing and strengthening their effectiveness.
These grants are funded by the Federal
Forest Restoration Program (FFR Program) and administered
by the Oregon Watershed Enhancement
Board. The stated goal of these grants is to increase
the number, acreage, and complexity of collaboratively
planned restoration projects on federal lands
by developing or expanding zones of agreement
(ZOA). ZOA are collaborative agreements that may
focus on a project, Forest Plan allocation unit, forest
type, or ecological function. A secondary goal
of the program is to build capacity to accomplish
ZOA. For the 2019–2021 biennium, grants were
awarded to groups working on either ZOA or improvements
to collaborative governance capacities.
Several collaboratives requested extensions due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore this is not a final
account of all funded activities and outcomes.
