Partnership History

The initial Sustainable Forestry Partnership was formalized in 1995 after a grant to Oregon State University from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. By 1997 and after additional donor support, the SFP included:
  • Oregon State University
  • Auburn University
  • Pennsylvania State University and
  • United States Department of Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (USDA-CSREES)

In May 2005, original SFP partners and another 16 university and research institutions from across the United States held a 3-day "expansion conference" in Denver, CO. The long-term vision was to increase Partnership cultural and geographic diversity to meet a growing demand for sustainable forest management information and application. Workshop consensus changed the SFP name to the Sustainable Forests Partnership and started a continuing formal process to add new partners interested in conducting education/training, research, and assistance activities.
