Overview: Federal Forestlands Health

There is a current opportunity for coordinating efforts aimed at implementing the Federal Forestland Advisory Committee (FFAC) recommendations to address issues on Federal forestlands across the state. Discussions are underway at the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) and the Governor's Office as to how best to implement the recommendations. The formation of a work group of key stakeholders is a first step toward a targeted effort to implement the recommendations outlined in the FFAC report.

The purpose of this Oregon Solutions project is to pursue implementation of the Board of Forestry’s recommendations on how to accomplish more management on federal lands in partnership with the state.
