Abstract:
The Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) Landscape
Resiliency Program (LRP) is a grant program to support cross-boundary restoration
of landscape resiliency and fuels reduction within
Oregon. In fall 2021, ODF requested the Ecosystem
Workforce Program (EWP) at the University of Oregon
(UO) to devise and carry out a plan for monitoring
investments and outcomes of the LRP. The LRP monitoring
plan focused on three stages: Project Selection,
Implementation, and Outcomes. The purpose of this
working paper is to report the results of the Implementation
and Outcomes monitoring phases. This report presents 1) an overview
of selected projects, 2) project participants' experiences
with project implementation successes, challenges,
and lessons learned, 3) on-the-ground accomplishments
of LRP projects, and 4) an assessment of
the economic aspects of LRP.
