Our June Quarterly meeting will feature a presentation and field tour led by University of Oregon student Flora Booker. Her research on the Mt. Adams Community Forest highlights how community-led burning reshapes forest structure and plant communities over time.
We will walk through several units on the Community Forest to visually compare an un-burned, un-thinned control plot to other areas burned at different times and seasons. Discussion topics will include
Significant research findings, including the role of fire in reducing bitterbrush height and the ways that understory plants regrow over time after Rx fire.
Unique fire-adapted plants of the ecosystem and their important roles.
Ways to get involved with community science work
