WRCFC Wild Rivers Coast Forest Collaborative

WUI Wildland-Urban Interface

In the field of forest management and environmental conservation, a variety of acronyms are used frequently across agencies, policies, and collaborative groups. To support clear communication, we’ve compiled a glossary of the most common acronyms you may encounter while working with the Wild Rivers Coast Forest Collaborative (WRCFC).

This glossary provides a quick reference to help members, partners, and stakeholders navigate the technical language that is often part of discussions, documentation, and planning within the collaborative. Whether you’re a new member or a long-time partner, we hope this resource supports your understanding of the key organizations, programs, and regulations that shape our work in the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest and beyond.
