Collaborating to advance sustainable forest habitat management solutions in Western Oregon’s O&C forest lands.
关于我们
Founded on the basis of trust in 2015, FOREST BRIDGES: THE O&C FOREST HABITAT PROJECT, INC. is a charitable non-profit collaborative that brings together people of different perspectives on forest management to foster sustainable forests and habitats through active conservation management and restoration solutions exclusively on the 2.9 million acres of O&C Lands in western Oregon. The organization, which became a 501(c)(3) in 2019, sees itself as ‘attempting to fill a void’ as the only all-inclusive, consensus-based grassroots collaborative working to shift the management paradigm on the whole of the western Oregon O&C Lands and move beyond decades of polarization, an entrenched culture of litigation, and land allocations that have impinged the scale of active management and restoration efforts needed to address more than 100 years of fire suppression. These and other issues have contributed to exacerbating detrimental conditions on the O&C Lands, especially on overstocked dry forests, which face increasing high-severity wildfire; increased climate change-driven drought and invasive species; protracted seasonal wildfire smoke impacting public health; declining rural economies; and reduced public access for recreation. Over the years, the Forest Bridges collaborative has risen to the challenge of developing management principles and approaches that are constructive and viewed as reasonable from the perspective of all our partners and interest areas: Tribal Nations, ecological and climate resilience, legacy forests, plant, wildlife and other biological habitats, timber and wood products production, county revenue expectations, recreation and other material and non-material values important to the community at large. We have prepared several "living" policy papers based on our principles and strategies and submitted proposed management alternatives to Bureau of Land Management & USDA Forest Service planning processes in the last year, which have been well-received.

A good listen to gain multiple perspectives on the Trump administration's push, through E.O. 14225, for more logging on public land, pledging to boost America’s domestic supply of wood products and increase #wildfireresilience. Soundside Inc. spoke with Kristen Boyles from Earthjustice Northwest, Travis Joseph with the American Forest Resource Council, and Thomas Henry DeLuca from College of Forestry at Oregon State University to get their thoughts on the recent changes to federal forest management: https://lnkd.in/gDpkBr5i

Join us on Tuesday, May 20 for a Field Tour of Fire Histories in the central Oregon Coast Range Come along on an exciting forest field tour of three moist forests sites on BLM O&C and CTCLUSI lands northwest of Eugene, Oregon, where innovative dendrochronological (i.e. tree ring) studies -- are revealing new research insights on fire histories, forest conditions and Indigenous forest stewardship dating back hundreds of years. Technical Team’s Bios: Merschel Andrew is an ORISE post-doctoral scholar and co-director of the Tree Ring Lab at Oregon State University. Andrew uses tree rings to develop a shared understanding of how different forest ecosystems function over time. Andrew is particularly interested in how disturbances (mostly fire) and forest management have shaped and will continue to shape forest ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. Ashley Russell, a Miluk Coos and Pamunkey descendent and enrolled citizen of the Confederated Tribes of Coos Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI), is the Interim Director/Assistant Director of the CTCLUSI Department of Natural Resources and Culture. There she coordinates and supports the development and implementation of all aspects of cultural knowledge transfer, including but not limited to planning cultural awareness and outreach programs and events to educate CTCLUSI citizens and the surrounding community about CTCLUSI culture. She also partners with other Indigenous nations as well as federal, state, and local agencies, stakeholders and private landowners to support the co-management of CTCLUSI resources within her Tribe's Ancestral Territory and the continued expression and continuity of her Tribe's culture and stewardship practices. Glenn Jones, an Oglala Lakota descendent and an enrolled member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe of rural Northern California, is a master’s student in the OSU Department of Forest Engineering, Resources and Management. Glenn is also an active prescribed fire/cultural fire practitioner and is working with OSU Assistant Professor Chris Dunn to reconstruct a historical, cultural fire regime in the east slope of the Central Oregon Coast Range. Through a cultural lens, Jones sees the past seven generations (approx. 150 years) of land management as the crux of contemporary forest conditions. By better understanding forest conditions of our ancestral past, through Indigenous Knowledge and fire history, it informs our future seven generations’ land management strategies in forests that are threatened by contemporary wildfires, climate change and contain critical habitat for culturally and ecologically important species.

Happy 10th Anniversary to the Indigenous Peoples Burning Network (IPBN)! “The IPBN fosters and supports the advancement of science, policy formation and Indigenous Fire Sovereignty. These efforts have increased the development and application of research and management that are informed by tribal fire stewardship strategies and practices.” -- Frank Lake, Research Ecologist/PSW Tribal Liaison, US Forest Service
Today's #FireNetworks blog celebrates 10 years of the Indigenous Peoples Burning Network (IPBN)! ❤️🔥 In this post, we hear from IPBN Director Mary Huffman about the origins of the network, and IPBN participants about how their involvement in the network has impacted their work. The IPBN is part of the Fire Networks partnership along with the Fire Learning Network, Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network, and TREX Prescribed Fire Training Exchanges. https://lnkd.in/gzjTF4bm

ICYMI live, watch the recording at the link below: https://lnkd.in/dBn9RUpb Thank you to the Yale University Forest Forum, The Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment, and Forest History Society for this incredible speaker series!
Webinar TODAY at 9AM hosted by the Yale University Forest Forum: How to Count and Map Trees in Early Modern Venice: The Political Values of Precision Beginning in 1569, the Republic of Venice began to conduct regular cadastral surveys of oak trees and forests in its mainland territories. For the next 230 years, the republic regularly repeated these surveys in an effort to locate and quantify critical timber reserves. This presentation will examine the political and social values embedded in these surveys, and how we can use them to think about how different people interpreted the meaning of those numbers in very different ways. Speaker Biography Karl Appuhn -Associate Professor of History and Italian Studies, New York University Karl Appuhn teaches at New York University in the departments of History and Italian Studies. His research focuses on the environmental history of early modern Europe generally, and of Venice specifically. He is most interested in the ways that scientific and political institutions, social practices, and technology mediate the relationship between people and the natural world. He is the author of A Forest on the Sea: Environmental Expertise in Renaissance Venice (Johns Hopkins, 2009). https://lnkd.in/eviP258b Register to attend: https://yse.to/yff25
