Green Ridge | Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project

The Forest Service has taken members of the Collaborative on a few tours of the area to discern the collaborative recommendations in such a diverse and changed environment. Much discussion of the past fires, ingrowth and activities, current condition and desired results influenced the outcomes for management considered.

The Collaborative has representatives from recreation, environmental groups, timber industry, local government and interested citizens. The Green Ridge project has tree thinning, fuels reduction, prescribed burns, trail building, road decommissioning and closures over the area planned for implementation soon.
