Controlled Burn season is upon us for 2011-2012. See the Daily Tidings article on burning, or the announcement in the recent City Source newsletter. If burning is taking place, you can get information by going to www.ashland.or.us or calling 541-552-2490.  

Explore our website by clicking on the tabs above or along the left menu.  Read about the history of AFR in this brief project overview.  To see how forest conditions have changed over the past century, due to fire exclusion, view a comparison of 1939 and 2004 watershed aerial photos or explore a piece of watershed forest.  Read about recently accomplished work efforts in our Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Project Update. 

Monitoring for potential impacts is a large part of this project.  The Nature Conservancy is leading this effort.  To learn about current monitoring projects read the Fall 2011 Monitoring Update.  Outreach and education are crucial to keeping the public informed. Lomakatsi is working with local area students to help spread the word about the importance of watershed restoration.  See what they're doing by reading the 2011/2012 school year education update. Read more about our plans for Community Engagement and Education in our updated plan.
