Stories from the Forests of Northeast Oregon

A well managed forest requires collaboration and engagement from a variety of stakeholders. Invariably, action or inaction on one side of a property line has impacts on the other. And these impacts are particularly acute in Northeast Oregon where almost half of the forest land isn’t owned by the federal government, but by individuals and families.

Voices of the Blues is a multimedia mapping project that assembles the diverse array of voices engaged with forestry in Northeast Oregon. Taken together, these narratives offer a landscape-scale view of forestry collaboration in the region.

Voices of the Blues and My Blue Mountains Woodland offers resources and advice for people who are looking to manage their own land and join this network of collaboration.
