Abstract

Over the past fifteen years, natural resource management on federal and private lands and streams has shifted toward restoration of ecological functions. I n addition to federal land management agencies, community-based organizations such as watershed councils have emerged as coordinators of forest and watershed management.1 This shift in opportunities and arrangements has changed the business environment for forest and watershed management contractors. This briefing paper is to summarizes the results of a study that sought to profile the businesses involved in implementing forest and watershed work in light of the rise of ecological restoration as a management focus.
