There is little research documenting public understanding of forest restoration efforts in southwest Oregon. This session presents preliminary results from a public opinion survey measuring beliefs and attitudes about forest conditions and management practices in the Ashland Creek watershed. Based on a random sample of Ashland residents, this study is part of the multiparty monitoring effort to track public support for the Ashland Forest Resiliency Stewardship Project (AFR). The survey was funded by a grant from the Collins Trust Northwest Conservation Fund, which supports work seeking to restore frequent-fire adapted forests in southern Oregon.
