Forest Restoration and Utilization Calculator v 1.0

Description

The calculator estimates the jobs and income supported in local communities by restoration projects on federal forests in Oregon. The calculator has a simple spreadsheet interface and requires users to input basic information about the forest restoration work performed, timber volume generated, and where the project took place.

Use

In 2015, the calculator was used to analyze forest collaborative projects on the Fremont-Winema, Malheur, and Rogue-Siskiyou National Forests. Output from the calculator was used in a report on the outcomes of Oregon’s 2013-2015 Federal Forest Health Program that was funded by the Oregon Legislature.
