A preferred alternative has not yet

the meeting will be to try to find out
which alternatives might have public
support.
Copies of the alternatives and the
Desired Future Condition for the area

Annual timber tour provides information to tribal members
On September 2, 1993, the annual
timber tour started out with the first
stop at the Quartz Undcrburn. Prior
to any work in the area all the under
brush and debris is burned and has
proven very successful in the Quartz
Creek area as seen by the members of
the timber tour. Caution at a practice
such as this is in the burning process
of not letting the burn get out of
control and burning timber need
lessly. This is very beneficial for the
wildlife and livestock with in the
area.
The next stop was the Abbot II
Timber sale. The sale area is in the
Clackamas Planning Unit. There are
11,814 total acres in the planning
area. Clackamas Meadow accounts
for about 800 of the non-commercial
forest acres. Approximately 8,000
acres are commercial forest
The project analysis has been
prepared by the Natural Resources
and Forestry departments and ap-
E roved by Resource Manages. It will
e reviewed by the Timber Commit
tee soon. The recommended alterna
tive plans to harvest' 600 acres of
commercial thinning in younger
stands and 500 acres of shelterwood
and 500 acres of clearcuts in the
older stands.
The Abbot II sale was designed to
incorporate some of the new ideas of
landscape management that attempt
to mnic natural disturbance patterns.
There will be designated retention
strips in the clearcuts to serve several
purposes. To maintain habitat for

ney. micro organisms that will otherwise
die off once the timber is removed.
These organisms are an important
part of a healthy forest.. They will be
able to migrate back into the units
when trees reestablish. This 1994
timber sale included discussion on
the Clackamas Meadow area. There
was an assortment of questions asked
by the touring group such as the type
of logging this would take and the
advantages and disadvantages it
would have on the area. Questions
such as If there were any Spotted
Owls, the snages left for wood pur
poses for the tribal members. There
are some prime timber stands with-in
the area that shows promise for the
future of the logging unit. Also in
cluded on the next stop was the Wil
son Creek timber sale, which has
similar problems as the prior timber
sale mentioned. After the long day in
the woods the group returned to end
the first days tour. At various stops
along the tour many issues were dis
cussed by the experts and the curious
interested Tribal members. Today
there are the Bark Beetles that do
great harm to timber stands. There
are the Bark Beetles, the Mountain
Pine Beetles, Douglas Fir Beetles,
and the Ambroise Beetles.
The Bark Beetles construct gal
leries in which there is a central
tunnel made by the parent beetles
where the eggs are deposited. These
galleries in conjunction with differ
ent fungi, which stop resin flow,
girdle and kill trees. The Mountain
pine beetle are found in all western
pine species. Out breaks usually oc
cur in mature to over mature forests,
especially in the lodge pole pine.
Many times the beetles, not the man
agers, set priorities and dictate
management options. There are two
approaches to reducing losses in
mountain pine beetles in pine forests:
1. long-term forest management, and
2. direct control.
Other problems foresters face in
management of the forest is the, Root
Disease, there are the Armillaria Root
Rot, Laminated Root Rot, Annosus
Root Rt, Schweinitzii Root Rot, and
Black Stain Root Rot. Root disease
spreads from roots of the diseased
trees to those of healthy ones. Trees
of all sizes, ages, and species are
killed by two patterns in stands. The
first is in rot pockets, and the second
is scattered individual tree and small
group mortality, both types may oc
cur in the same stand. Scattered root
disease often goes undetected be
cause of the subtle nature of expres
sion There only a few trees per acre
dying at any one time and these are
scattered among the apparently un
affected trees. The disease can be
come greater because it is usually
more extensive through out stand
drainage or timber type.
Day Two, Forest Tour The first
stop was to inspect the Gopher Trap
ping program. Pocket Gophers dam
age conifer seedlings on thousands
of acres in the northwest They invade
clearcuts and clip roots or girdle the
base of conifer seedlings and sap
lings, causing significant economic
josses. They spend most of their lives
in their extensive burrow systems,
which are usually 4 to 12 inches
under ground and can contain over
500 feet of tunnels. Physical charac-
tcristicsof gopher damage are unique.
Gophers clip roots and tootlcts, leav
ing only the main stem of seedlings.
Needles of gopher-damaged seed
lings wilt and turn brown, and the
seedling is easily pulled out of the
the walls or give as a gift. Supply list

HUD presents awards
The Northwest Indian Housing
Association and the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) jointly presented the 1993
Indian Housing Authority (IMA)
awards on August 31 during the
Association's quarterly meeting in
Ocean Shores, Washington.
In his opening remarks, Lynn
Stowcll, HUD Acting Regional Ad
ministrator, focused on change
within HUD, the housing programs,
and the IHAs. He commented,
"Change can be exciting. Change
has brought about the spirit of coop
eration and partnership that has made
these joint awards possible. Change
has brought new flexibility to the
IHAs in operating their own pro
grams. And, change has opened up
new opportunities for tribes and IHAs
to assess their housing needs and to
take innovative approaches to meet
ing those needs. The near future
promises more changes and more
opportunities for tribes and IHAs to
become instrumental in the design of
new strategics to address the very
ground.
Determining the need for control
of gopher damage should be part of
the harvest and reforestation plan
ning. The standard method is to mea
sure gopher activity by the mound
survey, which is an index of gopher
numbers. Most forest managers are
willing to apply control techniques
before planting only if there is high
likelihood of damage that's why it's
important to conduct your mound
survey.. At the present time crews
are working on the control of the
pesty varments in the south end of
the reservation.
The Triple Creek Timber Sale was
viewed as logging is being done with
a automatic tree cutter and limber
which is computerized to handle trees
30 inches or so. It cuts the and dclimbs
the trees and is computerized to cut
the logs at certain lengths. This sure
is a fast way to handle the smaller
trees in the sale unit. These machines
are used in the Commercial thinning
units where it does a good job.. "At
last, It's lunch time." Everyone stops
at Peters Pasture for lunch. After that
the Noisy Creek Timber sale for 1 994
was reviewed and the Culvert and
Road Maintenance Crew were dis
cussed. After logging some roads are
ripped up and planted with small
trees. After two days of Hot traveling
the tour was completed only after
some very valuable information was
gained from the forest management
people and the Natural Resources
people. The End...
