USDA secretary announces
economic recovery projects for
Umatilla National Forest
The Umatilla Na
tional Forest will receive
$4.7 million of American
Recovery and Reinvest
ment Act (ARRA) funds
for recreation facilities im
provements and trail main
tenance. ARRA funded
projects for forest facilities
and trails were announced
by Secretary Tom Vilsack
on July 21,2009. The 191
projects, funded at more
than $274 million, are lo
cated throughout the US
Forest Service in 32 states.
“The Recovery
Act pro jects w e’re an
nouncing are central to
creating jobs and building
a better, stronger economy
in the future,” said Secre
tary Vilsack. “These proj
ects exemplify President
O sam a’s commitment to
sustainability, reducing our
environmental footprint,
and increasing energy ef
ficiency, which will benefit
the 178 million people who
visit the National Forests
each year, while generating
additional tourism and stim
ulating local economies.”
People need work right now
and the Umatilla National
Forest has fallen behind
for years in maintaining
trails, recreation facilities
and historic buildings due
to lack o f federal funds.
“These economic recov
ery dollars will finally ad
dress the backlog of needed
projects in the Umatilla
National Forest and cre
ate local jobs in the pro
cess,” said U.S. Senator
Ron Wyden. The Umatilla
National Forest is set to
receive $1.7 million for
recreation facility improve
ments and $3 million for
trail maintenance. “The
vast array of ARRA funded
projects benefits our cabin
rental, cam pground and
trail programs forest-wide.
Nearly every recreation
facility across the forest
will see some level of im
provem ent,” said Kevin
Martin, forest supervisor.
The American Recov
ery and Reinvestment Act
directs the Forest Service
to improve, maintain and
renovate public and admin
istrative facilities. As with
the roads and trails system,
there is currently a large
backlog o f maintenance
needs for public facilities.
Maintenance needs were
identified through extensive
studies of specific public
facilities needed to support
the primary outdoor activi
ties that are best provided
on the National Forests
and grasslands. The work
will include replacing older
restroom facilities, pic
nic tables and fire rings at
many recreational camp
grounds; maintaining the
usability and safety of old
water systems at recreation
sites; and refurbishing his
toric Civilian Conservation
Corps-era bunkhouses and
ranger stations that are part
of the Forest Service’s large
regional rental program.
“We are reinvesting
in our historic guard sta
tions, helping to preserve
our heritage and provide a
unique experience for forest
visitors,” said Martin. The
Forest Service trails system
provides access to a wide
diversity of users including
hikers, horseback riders,
mountain bikers, cross
country skiers, snowmobil-
ers, and all-terrain vehicle
enthusiasts. “Trails will
be maintained to the stan
dard of their intended use,
providing access to users
and protecting the environ
ment,” said Martin. Trail
maintenance includes pro
tecting soils and reducing
erosion, along with clearing
vegetation, controlling inva
sive species, and removing
downed trees. Repairs and
upgrades to trail bridges
and trail head parking areas
will improve access and
safety for trail users. All of
this is labor-intensive work
requiring skilled workers
to be hired under ARRA.
Project work is expected to
begin later this summer and
will continue through 2010.

Service ARRA projects and
related economic recovery
