Rogue Forest Partners

Rogue Forest Partners We offer a science-based, practical, long-term approach to forest management, informed by millennia of indigenous knowledge and best science.

The Rogue Forest Partners are a group of four nonprofits and six public agencies working in collaboration with diverse communities to reduce wildfire risks, enhance wildlife habitat and create equitable, sustainable jobs across the Rogue Basin. Our work is rooted in the belief that the connections that tie all of us to the forest are more powerful than our differences. We engage with landowners, c

onservationists, businesses, tribal leaders, elected officials, and others with an interest in Rogue Basin forests. We strive to listen carefully to their diverse—and sometimes divergent—views as we work together to find the right balance. What doesn’t waver is our belief in active, ecological forest management now, because delays only increase the likelihood of bigger fires with more smoke, and loss of the forests we know, depend upon, and love.
