Abstract
Over the last decade, the U.S. Forest Service
has been implementing a series of new
initiatives designed to accelerate cross-boundary,
collaborative, integrated restoration.
Many national forests have applied for and been
awarded funding for projects under competitive
funding initiatives, like the Collaborative Forest
Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) and the
Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership
(Joint Chiefs’), which are represented on the majority
of national forests. However, some forests
have not had projects under these initiatives. Along
with our prior research investigating the CFLRP
and Joint Chiefs’, we were also interested in understanding
how forests that have not participated in
either of these initiatives conceptualized, planned
for, and engaged in collaborative, landscape-scale
restoration efforts. We identified forests that did not
have CFLRP or Joint Chiefs’ projects and randomly
selected three from each region to contact for interviews.
We conducted 29 interviews with 37 people,
including Forest Service personnel and external
collaborative partners, on 18 national forests.
