Largest tree planting program completed The largest tree planting program in the Pacific Northwest this year was recently completed on the Warm Springs Reservation. The hard work ing crews planted 2,200 logged-over acres in addition to 2,500 acres of the Simnasho Fire area and 1,275 acres of the Jefferson Fire area. The planting efforts, which was started in late March, included up to eight crews with inspectors coming from all departments in the Forestry Branch. Conifer seedling from seven different nurseries in Oregon sup plied the planters with a representa tive group of five major tree species. Between two and five species were planted at each location. Multiply species were selected for each site to provide diversity and to mimic stands that would have been presently historically. The new stands should be well adapted to the local climate, and will eventually create habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, as well as a future source of wood products. One interesting aspect of this Choices and Challenges: Teen Conference set for May 21 This year brings the eighth annual Teen Conference to central Oregon. The Teen Parent Program at Madras High School has been instrumental in planning this event since 1991, with the focus being providing a day for students to attend workshops, hear speakers, experience some entertain ment that all address issues teen wrestle with on a daily basis. It has evolved from being a teen parent conference to a conference for all teens. The event is called "Choices and Challenges". Candis Wood ot Madras and Jonathan Jackson of Warm Springs, both students at the Buff Learning Center, have worked closely with Teen Parent Program coordinator Lisbet Hornung in planning this year'sconference. Caroline Cruz will join the group and conduct a special activity but the surprise element pro hibits coordinators from revealing the details. Caroline will direct a game that will teach students about communication, problem solving, getting along with others, dealing with diversity and all the tough is sues teens face today. Participants will then have time to break into small groups to debrief the game and discuss how each can apply it in their personal lives. A large group mixer activity for everyone will follow. It will be di rected by John Beal from OSU Ex tension. Participants will then have lunch, donated by the various pizza restaurants and merchants in Ma dras. After lunch and door prizes, we a teen theater group from Newport High School, PATTERNS, will pro vide entertainment. The event, to take place at Buff Annex on May 21, from run from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the cost is $3. The audience is high school students, who will be excused from their daily classes while they attend. Enrollment is limited, but registration will be accepted until the conference is full. year's planting is an ongoing study being conducted in cooperation with Oregon State University. Controlled release fertilizers were placed near the seedlings to determine what lev els of nitrogen, phosphorus and po tassium will improve the growth of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, noble fir and western white pine for the climate and soils found on the reser vation. The fertilizers released nutrients over a five-year period and results have been encouraging for off-reser-vation sites in the Coast Range and on the west side of the Cascade Moun tains. The goal is to produce healthier and faster growing trees at a cost of approximately one penny per tree. Test sites being monitored through this special project are located in the Jefferson Fire area and the Long Willow Timber Sale area. Next season the crews will plant another 4,000 acres in the Simnasho Fire area with two-year-old conifer seedlings and bitterbrush seedlings currently being grown by the U.S. Forest Service from seed collected by the Natural Resource's staff and local high school students.
