Forest Service publishes
co-stewardship story map
The USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region has published an
interactive story map highlighting co-stewardship work occurring between
Tribes and national forests across Oregon and Washington. This includes
the Grand Ronde Tribe for its work on the Camas Prairie Restoration
effort in partnership with the Siltez Tribe. Camas Prairie, located on the
Sweet Home Ranger District, has been a special focus between the Forest
Service, The Tribe and the Siletz for more than 25 years. Both Tribes
have participated in ongoing protection and restoration of Camas Prairie
through native seed collection, invasive plant management, tree density
management and prescribed burning.
“The Pacific Northwest is home to many Indigenous peoples and their
cultures, traditions and knowledge continue to define the Pacific North-
west today,” Kristine Harper, Tribal Relations Specialist for the Pacific
Northwest Region of the Forest Service and enrolled member of the Tlingit
and Haida Indians of Alaska, said. “This story map displays how we are
working with Tribal governments to incorporate this knowledge into our
projects and activities across the region.”
The Forest Service is responsible for millions of acres of federal land
where Tribes have reserved the right to hunt, fish and pray by ratified trea-
ties and agreements with the United States. The Forest Service is tasked
with managing these landscapes to be sustainable for future generations.
