Zusammenfassung
Natural resource-based economic development in public lands communities requires robust businesses,
a supportive policy environment, and institutions to create local benefits from land management.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service fosters economic
development through service work, timber sales, and other mechanisms. USDA Rural Development
Business and Cooperative Service (RDBCS) assists rural businesses through loans, loan guarantees,
and grants. Currently, there is not broad understanding of how their resources reach the ground. This
study considers how these agencies invested in natural resource and economic development activities
in Oregon from 2007-2011.
