Abstract:
This summer’s Lookout Fire east of Eugene burned more than two-thirds of a research forest near Blue River.
The H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest covers 25 square miles. It’s a mix of old growth, logged and replanted, and previously burned areas and has been used for research for 75 years. The forest is operated as a partnership between the U.S. Forest Service, the Willamette National Forest, and Oregon State University.
