THE BLUE RIVER LANDSCAPE STUDY

The Blue River Landscape Study is a long-term project in the Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area designed to test an alternative landscape management strategy based on historical fire regimes and other disturbance processes. This strategy contains less frequent and less intense timber harvest activities and an alternative reserve configuration as compared to the standard management approach in the Northwest Forest Plan.
