MADRAS—A meeting for the “Westside Stewardship Project” is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to noon on Friday, May 15th, at the Rim Park Subdivision, west of Lake Billy Chinook. Anyone interested in participating in this project is welcome to attend. The focus of this meeting will be juniper slash removal from the Westside Project area.
The Westside Stewardship Project consists of a collaborative team of individuals, including: private citizens, the National Wild Turkey Federation, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, and other groups, working with Forest Service biologists to improve wildlife habitat on the west side of the Crooked River National Grassland. The Grassland is the largest of three grasslands west of the Rockies and the only one in Oregon. It has a rich and diverse cultural and natural history.
