investigators and students reach out to resource managers via periodic
reports, presentations, and field tours. These reflect long-standing,
collaborative relationships with the Central
Cascades Adaptive Management Partnership, the HJ
Andrews Experimental Forest-LTER, and the NW Oregon Ecology Group.
Cheryl
Friesen, Research Liaison with the Willamette National Forest, plays
a key role in creating opportunities for—and facilitating
outreach to—scientists, land managers, and the public.
Bunchgrass Ridge has also served as a nucleus for related studies
of meadow ecology and as a catalyst for broader implementation of
meadow restoration practices in the western Cascade region.
