Wasco Forest Collaborative Receives Grant Funding

The Wasco Forest Collaborative has secured $4.78 million in grant funding from the U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.  Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley made the announcement, saying the funds will help forests recover from wildfire damage and boost resilience to future fires.  The Wasco Forest Collaborative project’s primary objectives are to improve landscape resilience and to restore ecological function.  Wasco County Forest Collaborative Facilitiator Andrew Spaeth says the group represents diverse interests from the timber industry to environmental groups that have developed consensus recommendations the Forest Service is working to implement.  Implementation began last year.  The collaborative will receive one-third of their total funding allotment each year for three consecutive years.
