Curious how changes in federal policy are affecting U.S. Forest Service projects? Join the Northern Blues Forest Collaborative for an engaging webinar on the 54 North Project on the Umatilla National Forest! The webinar, led by Brianna Carollo (WWNF), Shannon Dunfee (UNF), and North Fork John Day District Ranger Arden Hoyt, will focus on how these changes may affect public engagement and how natural resource stakeholders can most effectively engage with the Forest Service.

The webinar also highlights the 54 North Project’s focus on conservation of First Foods and restoration forestry activities, like thinning and prescribed fire, on national forest and tribal lands - offering a real-world example of collaborative, landscape-scale, cross-boundary work in action.

Attendees can expect to learn:

• What recent NEPA changes mean for project engagement

• How to effectively work with the Forest Service moving forward

• An overview of the 54 North Project and its priorities
