Restoration

Forest restoration is a major component of SWFC’s work. Restoration helps improve ecosystem resilience and supports greater biodiversity. It also creates opportunities to engage the local workforce.

​

The Forest Service Manual defines restoration as “the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed. Ecological restoration focuses on establishing the composition, structure, pattern, and ecological processes necessary to facilitate terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem sustainability, resilience, and health under current and future conditions.”

 

Stewardship Projects

Stewardship projects address economic and ecological challenges. Rather than timber dollars going back to the national treasury, revenue goes towards on forest restoration work. These projects allow preference to go to local workforce and increase the pace and scale of restoration. Two authorities make stewardship projects possible: Good Neighbor Authority and Stewardship Contracting Authority.

  • RIGDON LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS - RIGDON LANDSCAPE PROJECT
    The Rigdon Collaboration Committe and the Forest Service worked together to design the Forest Landscape Analysis and Design (FLAD). Using the FLAD the Rigdon Landscape Analysis (RLA) is complete. The RLA is a restoration blueprint and displays how the landscape operates as a system. Rigdon Landscape Analysis

  • Partners
    This program is a result of the partnership between the City of Oakridge, Southern Willamette Forest Collaborative (SWFC), Lane Regional Air Protection Agency (LRAPA), and Brock's Wood Lot working together to reduce woodsmoke pollution in the surrounding Oakridge airshed. Additionally, this project would not be possible without the support of local companies and sponsors including Seneca, Jerry Swearingen, Roseburg, Union Pacific Railroad that have donated wood or materials to the program.
