• Past management of big prairie and oak woodlands with prescribed fire (1997, 2001, 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2016) • Plan to continue management of prairie with prescribed fire in the future. • Forest stand assessment was completed by Trout Mountain Forestry (2021) with recommendations for fuels management – we have been implementing recommendations with a goal of reducing fuel continuity especially where this overlaps with ecological goals (expansion and management of oak/prairie habitat) • Invasive species management • Periodic prairie mowing
• Plan to manage prairie with prescribed fire • Periodic prairie mowing and haying • Invasive species management
• Note---close proximity to local and state highway roads; growing community of Banks, OR. • Public access has been developed • Upland AG fields have a history of fire starts/steep terrain • Fuels reduction, annual fuel break mowing at the edges; future habitat considerations once removed from lease
• Plan to manage wet prairie/oak savanna with prescribed fire • Oak release project (i.e. removal of overstory competition from Oregon White Oak) • Periodic prairie mowing and haying • Invasive species management
• Extensive thinning of plantation forests carried out over a 7-year period (2012 to 2019) • Forest Management plan in place for future thinning entries into stands • Invasive species management • Coordination with fire districts when the Nature Park was developed – gates, turn arounds, water tank installation, etc.
• Past management of wet prairie with prescribed fire (2007, 2008, 2019) • Plan to continue management of prairie with prescribed fire • Periodic prairie mowing and haying • Invasive species management
• Plan to manage future prairie restoration project with prescribed fire (the core of site is currently in an agricultural lease) • Invasive species management
• Trout Mountain Forestry is developing a fire risk assessment memo for the site (high level document that assesses site and makes recommendations to mitigate fire risk) • Invasives species management
