Abstract
Oregon’s forest landscapes require active restoration
to improve ecological health and to
support livelihoods in rural communities.
Targeting unmet need on federal forests, the State
of Oregon initiated the Federal Forest Restoration
Program (FFRP) in 2013 (first termed the Federal
Forest Health Program). During the last two biennia
over 2013-2017, the State’s investments in the
FFRP total $7.2 million. The FFRP is designed and
managed through the Oregon Department of Forestry
and implemented alongside other coordinated
restoration efforts such as the Eastside Restoration
Strategy of the U.S. Forest Service.
This working paper monitors the State’s investments
in the FFRP following an assessment design
defined by ODF. ODF contracted the monitoring
work through the Ecosystem Workforce Program at
the University of Oregon. The information and outcomes
reported here focus on the FFRP under the
2015-2017 biennium and track investments through
the three FFRP strategies implemented by ODF and
its partners.
