Abstract:
Over the last decade, the Forest Service has
been implementing a series of new initiatives
designed to accelerate cross-boundary,
collaborative, integrated restoration. Between
April-September of 2017, with funding from the
US Forest Service, we investigated two of these
initiatives, the Collaborative Forest Landscape
Restoration Program (CFLRP) and the Joint Chiefs’
Landscape Restoration Partnership (JCLRP). We
surveyed 425 Forest Service and NRCS staff and
conducted a total of 143 interviews with both agency
staff and external stakeholders for the CFLRP
and JCLRP projects to obtain detailed perspective
about our questions and reach external partners.
