Abstract
With the current focus on developing the green economy as a strategy for economic recovery, there has been an
increasing emphasis on investing in renewable energy development, energy efficiency, and businesses that have
more sustainable supply chains and end products. Today’s focus on a green economy builds on a much longer
standing effort in the agricultural and natural resource sectors to foster organic agricultural products, certified wood, and ecological
restoration of forests and watersheds. F or more than fifteen years state and federal governments have invested in forest
and watershed restoration in the Pacific Northwest. The purpose of this study was to examine the employment and economic
impacts of public investments in forest and watershed restoration in Oregon.
