Overview

The Bark Beetle Mitigation Fund Grant aims to support family forestland owners in Oregon by providing financial assistance for prevention and restoration projects related to bark beetle infestations. The program focuses on enhancing forest resilience, with a 50% cost-share available for qualified projects. Priority is given to areas at immediate risk of outbreaks. This initiative aligns with the Oregon Department of Forestry's mission to promote sustainable forest management and protect valuable natural resources.

The goal of the Bark Beetle Mitigation Fund is to assist family forestland owners in prevention and help restore areas affected by bark beetles.
More than 44 percent of land in Oregon is privately owned. Financial incentive programs are available to encourage and assist landowners so they can manage their forest resources and meet their objectives. Typical forestry projects include protecting the landowner's resources/investment from fire or insect and disease infestation, and increasing monetary and environmental values of their forested property for the future.
