Tending, Nurturing, Treasuring... Our Forests, Our Communities, Our Environment
The Shoshone County Forest Health Collaborative (SCC) was formed in November 2009 in an effort to bring together the diverse government agencies, environmental advocacy groups, private landowners, and community members in order to address the natural resource management needs of Shoshone County. The members of the SCC are working together to restore the health of the public and private forests within Shoshone County in a manner that protects the environment, stimulates the local economy, and provides for the health and safety of the communities.
Shoshone County, Idaho is in the process of redefining the community's role in forest management.
Opportunities exist to address ecological restoration and stewardship needs, while providing quality jobs for local workers as well as restoration "byproducts" for local manufacturing.
Accomplishing this requires a new approach to natural resource stewardship: one that is locally-supported, incentive-driven, and reliant on the power of solutions that integrate the environmental, economical, and social needs of communities.
Collaboration between diverse stakeholders and land management agencies is an essential tool in this approach. The trust that is developed through this collaboration will lead to stable, long-term solutions that hold though shifting political winds.
