What is Stewardship Contracting?

Stewardship contracting has been used in the Forest Service on a limited basis for a number of years, but most often as it pertains to the harvesting of special forest products. A new approach for the use of Stewardship Contracting has been established by Congress to provide land managers another tool in order to better manage our natural resources. MORE

Stewardship Groups on the Siuslaw National Forest

Stewardship groups are collections of individuals and organizations from the local area working with the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to promote forest restoration that meets the needs of the local community.
