What do mountain hemlocks at the top of the Cascade crest and juniper woodlands on the sagebrush steppe have in common? Both these forest types evolved with fire.
Join Amy Waltz, Fire Ecologist with The Nature Conservancy and Deschutes National Forest for a talk on the unique diversity of eastern Cascades forests and their different adaptations to fire. We’ll look at how forests have changed with human management and how fire has also changed its path through the landscape. Then, learn about some of the strategies that are being used to restore fire as a natural, ecologically appropriate, important part of our forests.
Presented by Deschutes Land Trust, Deschutes National Forest, and The Nature Conservancy.
