Assessing the Response of Streams to Contemporary Forest Practices:
Monday, October 13, 2008 - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 (all day event)
Over the past several decades in response to environmental concerns, the annual harvest in the timber-producing states of the Pacific Northwest was reduced and forest practices were improved.
However, there is still concern that the intensity of contemporary forest practices used to manage commercial forest land is not environmentally sustainable. To address this concern, the Watersheds
Research Cooperative (WRC), under the administration of the College of Forestry at Oregon State University, is conducting research on the impacts of contemporary forest practices on aquatic
ecosystems. This research is carried out in three paired watershed studies in western Oregon: Hinkle Creek, the Alsea Study, and the Trask Watershed. The purpose of this conference is to report on
the state-of-the-science of the environmental effectiveness of contemporary forest practices. The conference will feature reports on preliminary results, current status, and future directions for the
three WRC paired watershed studies. Also, results will be presented from similar research from throughout the Pacific Northwest. For more information, visit
