Resource Library
A wealth of publications, webinars, outreach materials, success stories, and other resources associated with the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program have been published in recent years. In addition to resources specific to the CFLRP, the Forest Service has also identified resources that may be of interest to the broader community of collaborative restoration practitioners. These resources have been compiled so that the stories, successes, and lessons learned regarding large-scale collaborative forest restoration can be shared. For additional resources and information, including recorded CFLRP Peer Learning Sessions, collaborative websites, monitoring plan examples, and research, please visit the Collaboration Resources Page on the National Forest Foundation website.
Use the "Filter by Resource" checkbox on the right and/or the table below to review CFLRP resources. Clicking on the arrows in the table heading columns below will sort the entries alphabetically, ascending or descending.
If you know of additional resources that could be added to this list, please contact us at SM.FS.CFLRP@usda.gov.
