    Balancing Act Living with Fire in the Applegate Applegate Communities’ Collaborative Fire Protection Strategy Coordinated by the Applegate Partnership Sandy Shaffer and Jack Shipley, Project Coordinators Diana Coogle, Editor Applegate, Oregon August 2002 About the Applegate Communities' Collaborative Fire Protection Strategy a.k.a. THE APPLEGATE FIRE PLAN The Applegate Fire Plan is a collaborative effort, hatched from an idea that was developed jointly by local citizens and federal agency folks in the Spring of 2001. Due to wide-spread participation throughout the Applegate Valley, general project coordination was organized by the Applegate Partnership, a non-profit community- based group founded in 1992. Initial funding for this project was awarded via the National Fire Plan to the Applegate Partnership in October, 2001. This written plan is the result. The Mission of the Applegate Partnership The Applegate Partnership is a community-based, non- profit organization involving industry, conservation groups, natural resource agencies, and residents cooperating to encourage and facilitate the use of natural resource princi- ples that promote ecosystem health and diversity. Through community involvement and education, this partnership supports management of all land within the watershed in a manner that sustains natural resources and that will, in turn, contribute to economic and community well-being and resilience.

  • Final Guide Historical Records Collection Rogue
    FINAL GUIDE to the HISTORICAL RECORDS COLLECTION of the ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST (Medford, Oregon) (compiled and annotated by Jeff LaLande) November 2006 INTRODUCTION Scope and Purpose This Guide to the Historical Records Collection of the Rogue River National Forest, first compiled in 1978, has been updated semi-annually in order to facilitate the use of the Historical Records Collection as additional items have been accessioned into the Collection. This Final version of the Guide represents the Collection at the time (late 2006) that all of its original documents, maps, and photographs are being transferred to the care of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), at its facility in Seattle, Washington. The Collection has been formed under the directives of Forest Service Manual (FSM) 1681; it consists of approximately 15 linear feet of Forest Service and Forest Service-related documents, maps, and photographs produced by, or otherwise concerning, the Crater (later Rogue River) National Forest. There are over 650 individually catalogued text- or map-based items, in addition to approximately 3,300 photographs. Many of the individually catalogued text-based items actually consist of numerous separate components (e.g., dated correspondence of different dates, multiple reports). These records represent a wide variety of the many aspects of past national forest management. The documents range from early timber resource inventories and homestead examinations to relatively recent land exchange files and recreation reports. The maps include Forest visitor maps as well as resource-inventory maps that were generated for agency use. The 1 photographs cover a wide range of people, places, things, activities, and events associated with the Forest.
