In 2010, the Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI) was selected as the largest forest restoration project in the Forest Service under the new Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program. At that time, and still today, the goal was to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration across the 4FRI footprint and get appropriately sized industry in place to handle the restoration outputs. Have we increased the pace and scale of restoration across 4FRI? A simple way to examine this question is to look at linear trend lines in relationship to accomplishments, which will tell you the answer is: yes and no.
