Abstract
The Federal Forest Restoration Program (FFRP)—administered by the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF)—has been
using Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) since 2016 to complete restoration activities on lands managed by the USDA
Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The Oregon Legislature House Bill 4118 in 2018 established a state
priority to pursue GNA projects that increase timber harvest volume, create jobs, reduce wildfire risks, improve wildlife
habitat and watershed health, and stimulate local economies. This fact sheet is an update to prior years reporting of
select outcomes from GNA activities administered by ODF from 2016 to 2020. The information reported here is in
support of an effort by ODF to summarize outcomes from all projects pursued under GNA agreements in Oregon.
Additional information on FFRP work can be found in prior year’s reports.
