U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley said this week that he will lobby
the Biden administration to spend at least $1 billion more
per year for logging, prescribed burning and other work
designed to make federal forests in Oregon and elsewhere
less vulnerable to wildfi res during a future when climate
change is likely to heighten that threat.
“Forests are the heart of Oregon’s identity,” Merkley,
a Democrat, said during an online press conference on
Thursday, May 27. “We have got to do a lot to restore our
forests, to make much more substantial investments in
forest management.”
Merkley said he hopes to push his campaign for
more aggressive forest management from his position as
chairman of the Senate Interior, Environment and Related
Agencies Subcommittee, which he has held since February
2021.
On Wednesday, May 26, Merkley convened an
appropriations hearing where he advocated for the federal
government to boost spending on forest management.
Vicki Christiansen, chief of the U.S. Forest Service, the
federal agency that manages much of the public forests in
Northeast Oregon, testifi ed before the subcommittee.
Merkley said one of his chief goals is to double
federal spending, from $40 million to $80 million, for
“collaborative” projects on national forests.
Those are projects that Merkley said are designed to
bring together traditional “rivals,” such as environmental
groups and timber industry representatives, to work
together to promote work that both support.
Merkley said that in the 2018 federal farm bill he
included authorization to double spending on forest
collaboratives — which he described as the “antidote to the
timber wars.”
But the next step — indeed, the vital step — is to
actually include that money in the Forest Service’s budget.
