Eight out of 26 State forest collaboratives received funding from Oregon Department of Forestry. One $85,000 grant went to the Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project . It will work on forest restoration in Garrison, a 25,000 acre area in the eastern part of Sisters Ranger District. ODF’s Federal Forest Restoration Program distributes funding to stakeholders in forest collaboratives so they can voice their opinions about thinning, prescribed fire, and other restoration work.
