Federal funding to help Oregon boost forest restoration work
Oregon Dept. of Forestry
Thousands of Oregon landowners are needing to reforest after the devastating 2020 wildfires.
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) – The Oregon Department of Forestry said Thursday the state will be able to greatly increase treatments on overcrowded forestlands to improve forest health and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire, thanks to new federal grants announced this spring.
ODF Family Forestland Coordinator Ryan Gordon says federal support for Oregon forests is coming in three forms.
$5 million in new funding from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Issued under the NRCS’ Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), these will assist individual landowners to treat privately owned, non-industrial forestland.
