Abstract:
In 2017, we studied two restoration initiatives: 1) The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program
(CFLRP), which was established by Congress in 2009 to provide 8-10 years of funding for collaborative
implementation of restoration projects on priority landscapes, and 2) The Joint Chiefs Landscape
Restoration Partnership (JCLRP), a partnership between the Forest Service and NRCS to promote landscape-
scale restoration work across public and private lands. Through a survey with 425 agency personnel
and 143 interviews with agency personnel and external partners, we identified the value added by these
initiatives, strategies for success, and implications for the future.
