Bunchgrass 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.
