The preferred work period applies to the listed streams, unlisted upstream tributaries, and associated reservoirs and lakes. Using the Guidelines - These guidelines provide the public a way of planning in-water “These guidelines provide work during periods of time that would have the least impact on important fish, wildlife, and habitat resources.

  • Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Fall 2011
    OldSmokeys Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Fall 2011 President’s Message—John Berry It was good to see and talk with so many of you at the Summer Picnic. Some I had not seen for years and I wished there had been more time to catch up. And it was a pleasure to see the great attendance by Regional Office and Mt. Hood National Forest leaders. It means a lot to have Regional Forester and OldSmokey Kent Connaughton and Forest Supervisor Chris Worth attend our functions. Both are very approachable and great listeners. It’s good to see the Region is in good hands. A big thanks to Mike Ash for donating one of his beautiful wood bowls for the raffle to support the PNWFSA Emergency Relief Fund. And, no, I did not bribe Kent Connaughton to draw my wife’s ticket! Thanks to Rick Larson for reserving the picnic area. Thanks to Bev Pratt, Mary Moyer, and Deb Warren for welcoming and doing the name tags. Of course, Dave Dalton and his crew did a great job of catering. Also, check out Paul Enberg’s and John Poppino’s photos on our website at <www.oldsmokeys.org>. The picnic reminds me what it means to be a member of the “Forest Service Family.” Next to my own family, the Forest Service has been the single most important factor in my life. The Forest Service offered me incredible career opportunities as it p rovided outstanding education and training, good pay, and a retirement annuity that allows my wife and me to live comfortably.

  • OR Wild -Backmatter V2
    208 OREGON WILD Afterword JIM CALLAHAN One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast.... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of your- selves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious still- ness, the lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men with their hearts in a safe-deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. —Edward Abbey1 Edward Abbey. Ed, take it from another Ed, not only can wilderness lovers outlive wilderness opponents, we can also defeat them. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (sic) UNIVERSITY, SHREVEPORT UNIVERSITY, to do nothing.

  • John Allen: Bringing Stakeholders Together to Restore the Forest and Protect Communities
    John Allen: Bringing Stakeholders Together to Restore the Forest and Protect Communities By Chris McGowan If there is one phrase that best summarizes John Allen’s career philosophy, it might be “shared stewardship.” In his supervision of forest restoration, collaborative programs, and friends’ groups, he has repeatedly taken the initiative to bring stakeholders together to implement projects. This is necessary in part because there is no one answer when it comes to reducing devastating wildfires, saving old-growth forest, protecting watershed, extracting resources, or managing recreational use of the land. A holistic approach must be used that brings all the interested parties together. A Legislative Tour of the Deschutes National Forest on October 22, 2014: (left to right) Oregon Rep. Brad Witt; Deschutes National Forest Supervisor John Allen; U.S. Forest Service Regional Forester Jim Peña; Oregon Rep. Gene Whisnant; Oregon Sen. Michael Dembrow; Oregon Sen. Herman Baertschiger (front); Oregon State Forester Doug Decker; Natural Resources Policy Advisor to Governor Kitzhaber, Brett Brownscombe. (source: Oregon Dept. of Forestry). “Our culture is reevaluating and redefining its relationship with our natural resources. And people are starting to better understand that you can’t just solve the water issue by itself, the recreation issue by itself, or the timber issue by itself. It’s all connected, it’s all integrated. You can’t just solve your particular piece of the forest that you’re interested in, and that’s the challenge for land management agencies. That’s our mission, to integrate all of the resources into a long-term sustainable solution,” says Allen, the Supervisor of the Deschutes National Forest, who is retiring after four decades of working for the USFS.
