Join the Northern Blues Forest Collaborative for an on-site tour of the Baker City Watershed on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forests and adjacent private lands. This is a unique opportunity to explore and evaluate the goals of forest thinning in a sensitive municipal watershed and discuss the need for cross-boundary efforts.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Learn how agencies, the City, the community, and private landowners are partnering on landscape-scale treatment design

• Explore how treatments aim to balance wildfire risk, forest health, and water quality

• Hear about monitoring efforts can inform adaptive management

• Consider how this project can inform future work across the Northern Blues

RSVP by emailing Jeff Costello, Facilitator for the Forest Collaborative

*Please bring water, lunch, and appropriate clothes and footwear; the tour will include a fair amount of walking on uneven surfaces in wet environments.
