<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">ODOT video and quick guide related to culturally modified trees<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In September 2020, devastating wildfires burned nearly 1 million acres across Oregon. During the removal of hazardous trees and debris following the fire, archeologists and tribal monitors recorded many archeological
sites, including culturally modified trees or CMTs. Several CMTs could not be avoided during tree removal. As part of the mitigation for these impacts, this video was developed with the assistance of Oregon Tribes and federal and state agencies. This video
was produced in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Oregon Department of Transportation, Historical Research Associates, Inc., and WSP USA.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The next round of the National Preservation Fund is now open.
<b><a href="https://us.engagingnetworks.app/page/email/click/10028/1940654?email=DheinyePr9pVzTNxl0rcdsS5Hda7Kfnj&campid=X%2BI2NXledwyZkArzVWMSmA==">Apply by October 1</a><span style="font-weight:normal"> for the opportunity of up to $5,000 in funding.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Grants from <b>National Trust Preservation Funds (NTPF)</b> are intended to encourage preservation at the local level by supporting on-going preservation work and by providing seed money for preservation projects.
These grants help stimulate public discussion, enable local groups to gain the technical expertise needed for preservation projects, introduce the public to preservation concepts and techniques, and encourage financial participation by the private sector.
A small grant at the right time can go a long way and is often the catalyst that inspires a community to take action on a preservation project. Grants generally start at $2,500 and range up to $5,000.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In the last year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) carried out an initiative related to assessing hazards in museum collections across the country. Oregon OSHA has been reaching out to
Oregon museums in order to offer free assessments through consultations. In Oregon, consultation is not tied to enforcement. If you are interested in a free assessment for your museum, contact Averie Foster at
<a href="mailto:Averie.J.FOSTER@dcbs.oregon.gov">Averie.J.FOSTER@dcbs.oregon.gov</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The Oregon Heritage Commission has been keeping in touch with Oregon OSHA as they collect data for their assessments and report any general findings that come out of the assessments. While that data is being
analyzed, Oregon OSHA offers the following basic recommendations to help staff and volunteers avoid impacts from hazardous materials in the collection:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo5">Look for immediate hazards such as potentially loaded guns, explosives, 1910-1950 fire extinguishers, Pre-1950s nitrate film<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo5">Label known or suspected hazards in the collection<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo5">Wear powder-free nitrile gloves when handling objects<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo5">Wash hands before eating, drinking, applying cosmetics, using the restroom<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo5">Encourage hazard assessment and/or air monitoring during medium- high handling tasks
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo5">Employers train employees on the signs and symptoms of heavy metal hazards
