  • Prescribed Fire in the Wilderness
    United States Forest Deschutes National Forest Willamette National Forest Department of Service 63096 Deschutes Market Road 3106 Pierce Parkway, Suite D Agriculture Bend, OR 97701 Springfield, OR 97477 File Code: 1950 Date: January 9, 2013 Dear Interested Party: The Deschutes and Willamette National Forests would like to know your concerns, questions, and suggestions regarding a project proposal to use management-ignited prescribed fire in the Mt. Washington and Three Sisters Wildernesses. The proposed project is called Prescribed Fire in the Wilderness: Scott Mountain and Cascade Lakes Planning Areas and is located in two distinct geographic areas on the Deschutes and Willamette National Forests. The project proposes to use management-ignited prescribed fire to protect wilderness values and reduce risk to values outside of the wilderness by modifying fuel conditions within the wilderness. Modifying fuel conditions within the wilderness would increase the likelihood that lightning- caused fires can play their natural ecological role in the wildernesses. Modified fuel loadings within the wilderness would also reduce the threat of wilderness fires moving outside the wilderness and improve safety conditions for firefighters suppressing fires that threaten to burn outside of the wilderness. The 1964 Wilderness Act envisions areas that are dedicated to, “…a future untrammeled, undeveloped, natural environment1 ….” Ideally, natural processes - including lightning-caused fires – are the predominant disturbances within these special areas. To this end, Forest Service policy directs the agency to, “Permit lightning-caused fires to play, as nearly as possible, their natural ecological role in wilderness2…,” and to, “Reduce, to an acceptable level, the risk and consequences of a wildfire within wilderness or escaping from wilderness3.” The existing condition of forest fuels in the Mt.

  • Chapter 3 Rural Growth Management Section 3.1 Introduction
    Chapter 3 Rural Growth Management Section 3.1 Introduction Background People move to rural communities in Deschutes County for many different reasons, but the high quality of life was mentioned repeatedly in community meetings. Residents noted that rural living provides peace and quiet, room to breathe and a connection with the land, the natural world and a caring community. Retaining what people love about rural living while allowing growth can be challenging. This chapter looks at the functional and quality of life aspects of rural living and complements Chapter 2, Resource Management that discusses resource lands. This chapter is divided into eight sections. Seven Statewide Planning Goals apply to this chapter, along with associated Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) that provide more specific guidance on implementing the Goals. The first four sections are Rural Development, Rural Housing, Rural Economy and Natural Hazards. State regulations for housing can be found in Statewide Planning Goal 10, Housing and OAR 660-008. Economic growth is considered in Statewide Goal 9, Economy of the State and OAR 660-009. Both Goal 10 and Goal 9 are intended to apply primarily inside Urban Growth Boundaries. Statewide Goal 2, Land Use and Goal 14, Urbanization, and OARs 660-004 and 660-014 address specific aspects of urban development on rural lands. Statewide Goal 7, Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards provides guidance on how to effectively protect development from natural hazards. The next two sections are Public Facilities and Services and Transportation. These areas are addressed in Statewide Goal 11, Public Facilities and Services and Statewide Goal 12, Transportation and associated OAR 660-011 and 660-012.

  • Winter Trail Access and Condition Update April 30Th – May 7Th, 2021
    z Winter Trail Access and Condition Update April 30th – May 7th, 2021 Spring Trail Highlights • Summer trails are slowly becoming accessible. However, most middle and high elevation trails are under at least patchy snow. The Deschutes River Trail, Horse Butte area, the Phil’s system, and low elevation trails around Sisters are all accessible. See inside for more details. • For winter recreation, most SnoParks are out of business for the year. Ray Benson and SnoParks above 5500’ are the only ones with adequate snow coverage. Most trail and boundary snow poles have been removed from the Dutchman-Moon Mountain area. Trail and boundary navigation can be difficult without these poles. It is the responsibility of the user to know where they are. The Three Sisters Wilderness, Bend City Watershed, and “Dutchalo” area are all CLOSED to snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles. • WILDERNESS PERMITS WILL BE REQUIRED from 19 trailheads for day use and all trailheads for overnight use in the Mt Jefferson, Mt Washington and Three Sisters wildernesses from May 28 to September 24, 2021. For more information, see inside on at the top of Page 2, just above “Summer Trail Conditions Report.” • TRAIL CLOSURE in effect for multiple trails between Forest Road 4615 and Skyliner Road, including Lower Whoops, Pine Drops, EXT, and portions of Phil’s and Storm King, due to thinning operations. • Got a trail report to share? Relevant information includes things like snow and access, number of downed trees, and overall condition of trail. Send emails to [email protected] rd Ray Benson SnoPark on April 23 .
