Urban Lumber Initiative

Clackamas Urban Lumber logoThe Urban Lumber Initiative, also known as the Clackamas Forestry Product Cooperative Program, is an innovative effort to study the possibility of creating a cooperative forestry program.

The purpose of the project is to develop a statewide model for counties to establish cooperatives. This model would provide for the commercial production and marketing of specialty lumber products on non-forest lands in urban areas.

Agriculture Investment Plan

Our Agriculture Investment Plan is focused on fostering new agricultural markets and increasing agricultural land value in our county. We’re also working with our partners to support small-scale farmers by building connections, providing resources and facilitating market opportunities.

Forest Investment Plan

Forests are key to the quality of life in our county. The Forest Investment Plan promotes sustainable management of county-owned timber while identifying ways in which county forest management practices might benefit our region as a whole. The plan is focused on the forest industry and enhancing forest land economic value in the county.
