Abstract:
Restoration is a pressing need across Oregon’s forests—over 7 million acres are experiencing declining
forest health and are at elevated risk of large and destructive wildfires. Oregon Department of Forestry’s
(ODF) Federal Forest Restoration Program partners with federal agencies to restore and steward these
important lands to enhance and protect the valuable benefits they provide for Oregonians. ODF supports
three key elements of restoration: Planning – Implementation – Monitoring, all integral to restoring land in
an ecologically sound, scientific manner. This fact sheet summarizes the results of ODF’s efforts to increase
the pace, scale and quality of restoration on federal lands in Oregon.
