A Century of
Discovery: 100 Years of U.S. Experimental Forests and Ranges —Pringle
Falls Experimental Forest – Pringle
Falls Experimental Forest is located in central Oregon’s
Deschutes National Forest. It was established in 1931 as
a center for silviculture, forest management, and insect
and disease research in ponderosa pine forests east of
the Oregon Cascade Range. The site was the first experimental
forest to be officially established in the Pacific Northwest
and was home to some of the earliest forest management
and silviculture research in the region. Much of the current
research at Pringle Falls is designed to increase understanding
of the processes that influence healthy and productive
forest ecosystems. The site is managed by PNW Station.
