The Oregon Department of Forestry manages and regulates activities on non-
federal forestland in Oregon. There are three main divisions under ODF-- Fire
Protection, Private Forests, and State Forests. The Private Forests Division
administers the Forest Practices Act and various forestry incentive programs and
employs the use of about 50 Stewardship Foresters who work closely with
landowners and operators The State Forests Division is responsible for forest
management to provide economic, environmental, and social benefits to
Oregonians.
Financial incentive programs are aimed at encouraging and assisting landowners
in managing their resources and meeting their objectives. Typical forestry projects
can be aimed at protecting the landowner's resources/investment from fire
or insect and disease infestation, to increasing its monetary and environmental
value in the future.
Information about all ODF and federal forestry-related grants and incentive
programs can be found at:
Community Forest Program
The Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program is a federal
financial assistance program with grants available to local governments, Indian
tribes, and qualified nonprofit organizations to establish community forests
and sustainably manage them for many public benefits, including recreation,
income, wildlife habitat, stewardship demonstration sites, and environmental
education.
Conservation Stewardship Program
To help landowners and operators maintain existing stewardship and adopt
additional conservation on privately-owned, non-industrial working forests and
agricultural lands.
Forest Legacy Program
The Forest Legacy Program is a national program that addresses privately-owned
forestlands that face threats of conversion to non-forest use by development
pressures. The goal of the Forest Legacy Program is to promote stewardship and
sustainable management of private forest lands by maintaining working forests
that conserve important forest resource and conservation values. Forest Legacy
provides funds for eligible private forestlands for the purchase of development
rights through either conservation easement or fee-title acquisition into public
ownership. All properties entered into Oregon’s Forest Legacy Program – either
through conservation easement, fee acquisition or donation – have their forest
.
resources and conservation values protected and managed in accordance with a
State Forester-approved Forest Stewardship Plan (see below).
