Highlights

OF PROGRAM YEAR 10/1/05 TO 9/30/06

Trip to Sakhalin, Russia with Siuslaw Basin partners began to 

solidify relationships that 

will eventually lead to international watershed 

restoration. The Forest 

and partners hosted a 

Russian delegation on 

the Coast touring awardwinning restoration 

projects on public and 

private land.

With two strong, healthy community stewardship groups 

working to improve whole-basin restoration – the Siuslaw and 

Alsea – a third stewardship group – Marys Peak – has 

joined ranks with plans to work goods for services in the Marys 

Peak watershed. 

The Forest dove into 

its third successful 

student-driven community involvement 

process at Salmon 

River Estuary. Five 

Master-level students 

spent eight intense weeks 

researching the natural 

environment and social history of Cascade Head Scenic Research Area. They hosted two community meetings per week in 

an attempt to garner support and help gather knowledge about 

the area. At the end of eight weeks a final report was compiled, 

assisting the Forest to move forward with watershed restoration 

projects. The students received a standing ovation at the end of 

the last community meeting.

Thinning in Late Successional Reserves at 

a low unit cost accomplishes important habitat 

work and provides timber 

for local mills. The Forest continues to routinely 

meet or exceed our timber target.
