Partners in the three landscapes of the Oregon FLN—the Rogue Basin, Upper Deschutes Basin, and Klamath and Lake Counties—are working to integrate ecological, economic and social values into collaborative dry forest restoration. Work in this network spans a wide range of actions, from a statewide analysis of restoration need in dry, frequent-fire forest systems and partnering in the publication of a restoration field guide to hosting a prescribed fire training exchange and taking part in the
Ashland ForestResiliency Project
. Efforts in both the Rogue and Upper Deschutes landscapes benefit from strong linkages to
Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network
members working there, and progress in the Upper Deschutes Basin is inextricably linked to the
Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project
.
At the core, strong relationships and trust paired with a strong scientific rationale allow this FLN to forge a path through decades of conflict, bringing together local community interests and federal land managers to implement a shared vision on the ground, at a pace and scale commensurate with ecological and community needs.
