The Forest Service has worked with partners since it was established over 100 years ago. Partnerships in land stewardship reflect a growing and important trend by committed citizens, organizations, and government agencies.

 

 

 

The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest partners with a variety of entities, including:

  • Nonprofit organizations
