Earlier this year, we put out an internal request for restoration projects from the Wallowa Whitman and Umatilla National Forests to receive CFLRP (Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program) funding. We are currently reviewing proposals and plan to submit funding level recommendations to forest leadership by September 15th.
We will be holding three virtual sessions (August, 20, 22, 30) for partners to learn more about this effort and learn how to provide feedback. The Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests are seeking feedback and input from the partnership about 1) Where partner projects align with proposed FS CFLRP projects to achieve cross-boundary restoration goals, and 2) Which FS CFLRP projects are of priority to our partners.
Please find a project map, directions on how to add your own projects to the map, and agenda below.
