Abstract:
In 2017, we studied the Joint Chiefs Landscape Restoration Partnership (JCLRP), a partnership between
the Forest Service and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) designed to promote coordinated,
landscape-scale restoration work across public and private lands to reduce fire danger, improve
water quality, and enhance wildlife habitat. Through a survey with 196 agency personnel and 62 interviews
with Forest Service and NRCS personnel and external partners, we identified the value added by this initiative,
strategies for success, and implications for the future.
