  • A Brief History of the Umatilla National Forest
    A BRIEFHISTORYOFTHE UMATILLA NATIONAL FOREST1 Compiled By David C. Powell June 2008 1804-1806 The Lewis and Clark Expedition ventured close to the north and west sides of the Umatilla National Forest as they traveled along the Snake and Columbia rivers. As the Lewis & Clark party drew closer to the Walla Walla River on their return trip in 1806, their journal entries note the absence of firewood, Indian use of shrubs for fuel, abundant roots for human consumption, and good availability of grass for horses. Writing some dis- tance up the Walla Walla River, William Clark noted that “great portions of these bottoms has been latterly burnt which has entirely destroyed the timbered growth” (Robbins 1997). 1810-1840 This 3-decade period was a period of exploration and use by trappers, missionaries, natu- ralists, and government scientists or explorers. William Price Hunt (fur trader), John Kirk Townsend (naturalist), Peter Skene Ogden (trap- per and guide), Thomas Nuttall (botanist), Reverend Samuel Parker (missionary), Marcus and Narcissa Whitman (missionaries), Henry and Eliza Spaulding (missionaries), Captain Benjamin Bonneville (military explorer), Captain John Charles Fremont (military scientist), Nathaniel J. Wyeth (fur trader), and Jason Lee (missionary) are just a few of the people who visited and described the Blue Mountains during this era. 1840-1859 During the 1840s and 1850s – the Oregon Trail era – much overland migration occurred as settlers passed through the Blue Mountains on their way to the Willamette Valley (the Oregon Trail continued to receive fairly heavy use until well into the late 1870s). The Ore- gon Trail traversed the Umatilla National Forest.

  • Stewardship Contracting on the Malheur National Forest
    Stewardship Contracting on the Malheur National Forest February 2018 In September 2013, a ten year stewardship contract was awarded to Iron Triangle to complete restoration work on the Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon’s Blue Mountains. The contract was awarded largely in response to the imminent closure of a mill in the town of John Day, a local crisis that created an unlikely alliance of industry and environmentalists. Ultimately, state and federal government officials intervened to save the mill through an innovative stewardship contract. In order for the mill to remain operational, they needed assurance of a consistent and long term supply of wood. While stewardship contracts have been used by the Forest Service since 1999, this contract is significant for its ten year commitment and the benefit it brings to the local community. Implementation After sending out a request for proposals, when the mill was saved, new opportunities Malheur National Forest awarded a ten were created locally because the contract year Integrated Resource Service Contract could assure enough supply to sustain (IRSC) to Iron Triangle, a contractor based businesses Residents report an increase in out of John Day. Under the IRSC, Iron help wanted signs around the town of John Triangle implements approved thinning Day, and an estimated 101 new jobs were projects on the Malheur NF and sells the supported in the first year of the contract.2 logs to Malheur Lumber Company and other sawmills. Iron Triangle also Blue Mountain Forest Partners subcontracts part of the restoration work to local contractors such as Grayback Forestry After several years of informal conversation and Backlund Logging, who have done between environmentalists and the timber much of the pre-commercial thinning and industry, Blue Mountain Forest Partners (BMFP) was formed in 2006.

Ecosphere 9(8):e02400. 10.1002/ecs2.2400 Abstract. A major goal of managers in fire-prone forests is restoring historical structure and composition to promote resilience to future drought and disturbance. To accomplish this goal, managers require infor- mation about reference conditions in different forest types, as well as tools to determine which individual trees to retain or remove to approximate those reference conditions. We used dendroecological reconstruc- tions and General Land Office records to quantify historical forest structure and composition within a 13,600 ha study area in eastern Oregon where the USDA Forest Service is planning restoration treatments. Our analysis demonstrates that all forest types present in the study area, ranging from dry ponderosa pine-dominated forests to moist mixed conifer forests, are considerably denser (273–316% increase) and have much higher basal area (60–176% increase) today than at the end of the 19th century.

  • 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.
