  • TSO Story Ideas for Website
    Story Ideas Off the Beaten Wine Path There’s more to Oregon wine than its famed Pinot Noir. Southern Oregon’s latitude, climate and rich terrain produce a European-like growing season that make it an idyllic location to grow wine grapes. And with more than 70 different varietals grown in five distinct regions, visitors can enjoy a different side of Oregon Wine Country from popular grapes like Syrah, Malbec and Tempranillo to the more obscure such as Montepulciano. Southern Oregon has more than 150 wineries and family-owned vineyards dominate the landscape. The Umpqua Valley is a prime example where German immigrants planted the first vineyards back in the 1800s and today the boutique wineries are still family owned and operated. Similar stories are woven into the other four regions and it is common to sip on wine poured directly by the winemakers who love to share their deep knowledge and love of viticulture with visitors. Far from the crowds of California or Willamette Valley, enjoy a wealth of wines in a variety of styles and full attention in the tasting room. Adventure is Southern Oregon’s Soul Maybe it’s our pioneering spirit, the geological drama, our untamed forests and rivers, spectacular waterfalls or the vast outback. But one thing is certain: the landscape lends itself to adventures great and small. In sunny Southern Oregon, you can white water raft the wild Rogue with local guides who grew up on the river’s edge, bike Crater Lake, zipline high above the forest or don a headlamp and explore the West’s largest cave system.

  • Regional Climate Investments
    Investing in Resilient Communities Southeast Oregon Lake, Harney & Malheur Counties Climate change is already impacting Southeast Oregon. Higher temperatures, wildfires, declining snowpack and extreme weather events are disrupting farming, ranching, wildlife and traditional livelihoods. For Oregon’s Outback to adapt and prosper, it is important to identify areas of risk and invest in solutions that restore natural resources, protect communities and enhance the region’s economy. AGRICULTURE & IRRIGATION Climate impacts in Oregon’s basin and range region reduce stream flows and groundwater available for irrigation, disrupt traditional agricultural and ranching practices, and compromise the quality of forage for livestock. Prolonged higher temperatures affect the health of ranchers, farmworkers, and livestock. ● Invest in water conserving irrigation infrastructure and more efficient on-farm systems. ● Prioritize strategies to restore and sustain the quality and capacity of the region’s groundwater resources. ● Assist farmers and ranchers with cost-saving measures to reduce energy use and with the installation of off-grid solar and battery storage, wind, biofuels, in-conduit hydropower and geothermal power. ● Invest in soil health and carbon sequestration, and in the health and productivity of rangelands. WATERWAYS & WILDLIFE Higher temperatures, declining snowpack and drought are reducing water in rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands. Wetlands in southeastern Oregon are essential to migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway. Higher temperatures and poor water quality impact fish and wildlife habitat and increase the risk of toxic algae blooms. ● Fund restoration and enhancement of rivers, lakes and watersheds to enhance water quality, streamflow, flood water retention, and groundwater recharge. ● Implement practices to prevent toxic algae outbreaks and public information to reduce exposure.

    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 Historic Winnemucca to the Sea Highway “Gateway to the Pacific Northwest”
    Feb 2004 WINNEMUCCA to the SEA Highway The Historic Winnemucca to the Sea Highway “Gateway to the Pacific Northwest” John Ryczkowski The Winnemucca to the Sea highway was developed to establish a continu- ous, improved all-weather highway from US-40 (I-80) at Winnemucca, Nevada through Medford, Oregon and on to the Pacific coast at Crescent City, California. In the mid 1950’s there was no direct route west from Northern Nevada across South- ern Oregon and into California’s Redwood Empire. Community leaders from points along this proposed link formed the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway Association. The association worked with state and local governments to fund the design, con- struction and upgrade of the paved roadway for this east to west link across three states. The association had envisioned one highway number 140 applied to the complete route, as the parent major US highway was coast-to-coast US-40, the Victory Highway. Nevada and Oregon used state route 140 for their respective sections of the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway. But the renumbering or cosigning of federal highways was an obstacle that the Winnemucca to the Sea Association never did overcome, thus the hope of a continuous 140 designation for this link was never realized. Currently the traveler will follow seven different highway numbers from Winnemucca to Crescent City, they are US-95, state route-140, US-395, state Association brochure circa 1960’s route-62, Interstate-5, US-199 and US-101. Winnemucca, named after a local Paiute chief, has always been a crossroads town.

  • American Outback: Harney County, Oregon
    AMERICAN OUTBACK: Harney County, Oregon Text and Photos by Eric Lucas oised on an old fencepost held high by haphazardly stacked rocks, the trail register for Wildhorse Lake leans a tad sideways into the timberline winds on Steens PMountain. The lake itself is a cobalt dinner plate far below; between us and it lie an almost sheer cliff face, a scree slope and snowdrifts still hugging crevices in early July. Only three parties have been down the trail this year, and their penciled comments beckon anyone with a wilderness appetite. “Spectacular!” “Fishing fabulous.” And, not least: “Trail not 4 Sissies.” We take this as invitation rather than warning. Down the cliff face we go, looking for flat footing, scooting warily across snow banks, tugging at rock handholds and hairpinning our way down the scree to the open meadows by the lake. Bumblebees buzz in lupine and paintbrush, and gold sand beaches hem the lee shore. From here we cast Renegades up against a rockfall 20 yards away, watching for the telltale flash of gold that marks a strike by one of the lake’s native Lahontan cutthroat trout. “Trail not 4 Sissies” These are slender 13-inch beauties of amber, topaz and marigold, with just a brief stitch of vermilion under the jaw that testifies to their species. After two hours of casting—and lollygagging on the beach, watching the sky deepen its blue, and kites patrol the meadows—we head back up to the Range Rover with four fish in hand. Going up proves tougher than down, maybe because heading down is fueled by the adrenaline of anticipation, and heading back carries the mild clutch of regret.

  • Homelessness in the Willamette National Forest: a Qualitative Research Project
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Oregon Scholars' Bank Homelessness in the Willamette National Forest: A Qualitative Research Project JUNE 2012 Prepared by: MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION CAPSTONE TEAM Heather Bottorff Tarah Campi Serena Parcell Susannah Sbragia Prepared for: U.S. Forest Service APPLIED CAPSTONE PRO JECT MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Long-term camping by homeless individuals in Western Oregon’s Willamette National Forest results in persistent challenges regarding resource impacts, social impacts, and management issues for the U.S. Forest Service. The purpose of this research project is to describe the phenomenon of homelessness in the Willamette National Forest, and suggest management approaches for local Forest Service staff. The issues experienced in this forest are a reflection of homelessness in the state of Oregon. There is a larger population of homeless people in Oregon compared to the national average and, of that population, a larger percentage is unsheltered (EHAC, 2008). We draw upon data from 27 qualitative interviews with stakeholders representing government agencies, social service agencies, law enforcement, homeless campers, and out-of- state comparators, including forest administrators in 3 states. Aside from out-of-state comparators, all interviews were conducted with stakeholders who interface with the homeless population in Lane County or have specific relevant expertise. Each category of interviews was chosen based on the perspectives the subjects can offer, such as demographics of homeless campers, potential management approaches, current practices, impacts, and potential collaborative partners.
