This summer OWEB has partnered with Hugh Barrett of CSR Natural Resource Consulting, Inc. to hold three sessions of the Western Juniper Management Field School. Each session provides training in the field near Burns, OR at the Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center. The Research Center presents the unique opportunity of its lands, facilities, and staff of field scientists as resources for the course. The agenda for the course incorporates the OWEB publication Western Juniper Management: A Field Guide and covers topics such as: rangeland health and ecological processes, watershed function, soil surveys and interpretations, plant identification, phases of woodland succession, pre-treatment inventory and post-treatment monitoring, and treatment alternatives addressing the recovery/repair of site function and productivity. The focus is on the management of western juniper but as the course progresses through the two and a half days, the material is presented in the context of the recovery of rangeland health and function. A session was held in July, early August and upcoming in September. For questions contact Ashley Seim, OWEB (503) 986-0186.
