Forest Collaboratives: Building Partnerships between the Community and Forest Service

Forest collaboratives work to build partnerships and increase trust between the Forest Service and diverse stakeholder groups. Across the Pacific Northwest, forest collaboratives have developed agreements around shared goals and increased the pace, scale, and quality of watershed and forest restoration across public and private lands. This has been accomplished through engaging a diverse set of stakeholders in planning, evaluating, and monitoring projects using a science-based and holistic approach. Join us for a presentation by Andrew Spaeth, facilitator for the Hood River Forest Collaborative and Wasco County Forest Collaborative, to learn more about forest collaboratives and the accomplishments of our local groups.

A business meeting will follow the presentation. The meeting agenda and minutes from our December meeting can be found in the resources tab.

This meeting will be held virtually. Register here.
