Despite receiving less than 40 cents for every federal dollar spent on national forests, tribes are restoring forest health and reducing tree mortality. Jerry Franklin, one of America’s foremost forest ecologists and an architect of the Northwest Forest Plan, endorses Indigenous forestry practices. On the heels of their success, tribes are finally gaining a voice in federal forest policy. In November, the Forest Service published a draft amendment to the Northwest Forest Plan, which manages 24.5 million acres across California, Oregon, and Washington. To address this, organizations like Sustainable Northwest are collaborating with tribes to implement projects that speed up treatments and reduce legal delays.
