Welcome to my Elizabeth Starker Cameron Demonstration Forest blog!

Thank you for your interest in the Cameron Tract! My name is Joanie Schmidgall. I am a Master of Forestry student at Oregon State University. During my time at OSU, I will be helping to facilitate a revitalization of management activity on the Elizabeth Starker Cameron Demonstration Forest. I have created this blog to highlight the mission of the Cameron Tract as a demonstration forest showcasing innovative forestry practices aimed at small non-industrial forest owners. Please frequently check my blog for updates on management activity throughout the summer.

Important Upcoming Dates for Cameron Tract Activities!

August 28th: Cameron Tract Twilight Tour.
Elizabeth Starker Cameron Demonstration Forest Pole Harvest Tour
The twilight tour will look at the pole harvest from marked standing
trees, to poles on the landing, and road issues. This is a little bit
different than a regular log harvest, requiring different marketing,
harvesting techniques, road requirements and other things. It is a
great chance to get close up and learn about  the process from the
experienced folks at the OSU College Forests, pole buyers from Pacific
Wood Preserving, logging representative from Cross and Crown, and
other participants.

Date: Wednesday August 28th
Time: 5:30 pm
Location: SEE ABOVE – ADAIR FIRE DEPT. SUBSTATION,  37096 SOAP CREEK ROAD

South on Hwy 99W to Coffin Butte Road (landfill), west on Coffin Butte
Road to Soap Creek Road.  Continue west on Soap Creek Road,

Points south, west, and east of Adair Village:
