The Klamath Lake Forest Health Partnership (KLFHP) continues its mission to facilitate restoration projects on public and private forestland in Klamath and Lake Counties through education, outreach, and diverse partnerships. In April 2024, KLFHP received funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board’s Focused Investment Partnership (FIP) grant program. This factsheet presents social and economic monitoring results for projects supported by the FIP grant program. It also provides an update on jobs supported by the Lakeview Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) project, and reports current social and economic indicators for Lake and Klamath counties. These results address monitoring questions 9, 10, and 11 from the 2021 KLFHP Monitoring Plan.

The Ecosystem Workforce Program partnered with the Lake County Resources Initiative, the Great Basin Institute, and the Fremont-Winema National Forest to conduct long-term monitoring of ecological responses to common restoration treatments on private and public lands in the Klamath Basin. In 2025, the Klamath Lake Forest Health Partnership (KLFHP) received funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) to continue monitoring ecologi­cal restoration projects on private lands. This fact sheet reports on progress for the 2025 monitoring season.
