Abstract
4 pagesOregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) Federal Forest Restoration (FFR) Program is continuing its work partnering with federal
land managers, who manage 60% of Oregon’s forests, to address the 5.6 million acres of Oregon’s forests in need of landscape
treatments to reduce threats such as insect, disease, and stand-replacing wildfire, and create economic opportunities and jobs
in the natural resources sector. With 65% of the highest risk acres occurring on federal lands, efforts to create landscapes
resilient to disturbance must involve federal lands in a meaningful way.
This report summarizes
the state’s activities to mitigate the effects of severe wildfires and create healthy federal forests in Oregon. The report also fulfills
the requirement of ORS 526.276 to report activities and outcomes of ODF’s work on federal forestlands in Oregon.Funded by Oregon Department of Forestry
