The Blue Mountains Forest Partners is a collaborative group comprised of diverse interests who have come together to advance a collective mission to enhance forest ecosystem health, economic opportunities and public safety on and around the Malheur National Forest in Grant County, Oregon.

Early in its inception, Sustainable Northwest was asked to facilitate the group to help develop ground rules for participation and to get started on collaboratively discussing the issues that members would like to work on.

The BMFP organizes educational forums and events to facilitate the sharing of information and ideas, and have begun to compile a reference list of resources on forest ecology. The group meets regularly to address the forest restoration and economic challenges and opportunities facing the community.
