Abstract
  • Submitted to State of Oregon Business Development Department.
  • The Southern Oregon Forest Restoration Collaborative (SOFRC) has developed a pragmatic, integrative assessment of forest restoration need and opportunity for federal forests in the Rogue Basin. This assessment, and the cohesive strategy for forest restoration on which it is based, can help inform forest planning, generate recommendations to land managers, strengthen public support for forest restoration, and improve project efficiency and effectiveness. Goals for the cohesive restoration strategy: • Restore and maintain a diverse mosaic of healthy, resilient forests; • Protect and conserve habitat for species at risk; • Reduce the risk of severe fire to forests and communities; and • Generate products, employment, and economic activity through restoration. This report evaluates timber supply within a two-hour haul distance of the Rough & Ready mill site in the Illinois Valley. By identifying collaboratively supported, restoration-based timber volume, its findings can inform potential new mill investments. A complementary assessment, described in Chapter 2, outlines the contours of social support for federal forest restoration in southwest Oregon.
