LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS AND PLANNING WORKSHOP:  TELLING THE STORY OF THE "LEFT-SIDE" OF THE NEPA TRIANGLE

Purpose:  When watershed analysis came into play under the NWFP, there was a lot of discussion about landscapes and how they function.  In recent years, as many units have focused vegetation management programs on plantation thinning, the idea of putting projects in a "landscape context" seems to have diminished.   This workshop will remind us all of landscape processes, how to analyze and display those processes using cutting-edge tools, and how to use that information to develop project recommendations.

When:  April 23, 2013.   Where: LaSelles Stewart Center, Corvallis, Oregon

Interest to:  All Interdisciplinary Teams involved with project planning.

Cost:  FREE.   It will also be available via live-stream.

RSVP WILL BE REQUIRED BY April 15.
Final agenda will be available at http://ecoshare.info/projects/central-cascade-adaptive-management-partnership/workshops  by February 15, 2013.

Sponsors:  Central Cascades Adaptive Management Partnership (Willamette National Forest, H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Eugene BLM, PNW Research Station, and Oregon State University, USGS, UofO); the NW Oregon Ecology Group (Eugene and Salem BLM, Mt. Hood, Siuslaw, and Willamette National Forests, and Columbia River Gorge National Recreation Area); and the R6 Resource Planning and Monitoring Group.

Follow-Up:  A VDDT/Path training will be held April 24, 2013 in Corvallis.  Contact Ayn Shlysky for more information and to RSVP.  ajshlisky at fs.fed.us<mailto:ajshlisky at fs.fed.us>
