Science Pub: Oregon’s Ancient Forests

Dripping coastal forests of giant Douglas-firs, high desert groves of massive ponderosa pines, and lush mixed conifer forests surrounding jagged Cascade peaks–Oregon’s ancient forests are vital to our state’s future – for clean water, climate change, wildlife, recreation, and so much more. Chandra LeGue, Western Oregon Field Coordinator for Oregon Wild (and Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council board member), has published just the guide to help you get to know and love these incredible places – “Oregon’s Ancient Forests: A Hiking Guide”. Come learn more about these complex ecosystems, where to find them, and to share in some of Chandra‘s experiences exploring Oregon’s ancient forests.
