State of the Forest

  • Projects supported by the groups are in various stages of design, environmental review and implementation.
  • And each year, Collaborative Groups engage with Forest Service teams to initiate new projects.
  • State of the Forest tracks general metrics about the scale of restoration.  Updates occur throughout the year when projects progress.
  • The summary information below is in table and chart formats.
