PODs collaborative approach based on spatial analytics identify potential wildfire control lines assess the desirability of before ignition. They offer opportunity apply principles with partners compressed timeframe incident response. We sought...

Abstract The USDA Forest Service (Forest Service)’s Shared Stewardship strategy, announced initially in 2018, is built on a vision of advancing federal partnerships with states and other entities to better accomplish shared forest management priorities at the landscape scale. Early implementation strategy provides glimpse into how these partnership dynamics differ both among geographic jurisdictional regions. Building prior assessment early western states, this Brief Communication article...

Ongoing management and research interest in dog-related issues at recreation areas necessitates examining support for relevant strategies among different visitor groups. Using data collected from an onsite survey of nonadjacent visitors (n=1,257) a household mail who live adjacent (n=74) to multiple-use area (referred as the Forests) Oregon, we compare visitation characteristics attitudes about these two Nearly half all respondents reported bringing dogs with them.
