Pacific Northwest Region News ReleasesOur Forests At Work - ARRA Progress Report - September 2009
Welcome to our 2009 report on how the Pacific Northwest Region and the Pacific Northwest Research Station of the U.S. Forest Service are progressing with their contribution to economic recovery. During Fiscal year 2009 – which ended September 30 – we received more than $237 million in funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. That money is putting people to work fixing forest roads, maintaining buildings and trails, restoring habitat and reducing the threat of wildfires all over Oregon and Washington. We look forward to providing even more work in the coming year, and we are excited to see tangible benefits to the land and rural communities. These stimulus funds fit our mission of “Caring for the Land and Serving People” to a “T”. We are proud of our employees and partners who are making this effort a success.
