Four Forest Restoration Initiative

Stakeholders

Stakeholders

Embarking on a 20-year initiative to restore northern Arizona's ponderosa pine forests at the landscape scale requires substantial up-front commitment, investment, and assurance of direction. Some individuals and groups, including members of local, county and state governments, environmental groups, organizations, institutions, and industry representatives, have made that commitment. Collectively, these diverse stakeholders have come to be known as the 4FRI Stakeholder Group.

The 4FRI Stakeholder Group is not exclusive. New individuals and groups may join at any time, and members of the public have the same rights and opportunities for access to information and input into the process whether or not they choose to join the collaborative.

The 4FRI Stakeholder Group has formed several working groups in order to make progress in keys areas. The working groups are listed below along with the names and contact information for the working group leads.
