Mt. Hood National Forest
At almost 1.07 million acres of land, Mt. Hood National Forest is home to hundreds of species of flora and fauna, numerous ski resorts, and alpine lakes scattered throughout. The forest has provided natural resources and opportunities for residents of the area for centuries. Recreation, timber, and many more industries rely on the forest to provide, which is part of the reason it needs to be advocated for. The Hood River Ranger District is made up of the North, part of the South, and the East sides of Mt. Hood.

What is a Forest Collaborative?
Through co-learning and deliberation, groups of diverse stakeholders are able to make informed decisions surrounding certain environmental issues. This input is often provided to the US Forest Service, in hopes of representing multiple voices and creating a more cohesive approach to forest management.
