Canopy View News | Summer 2022 | Issue 16

Lane and Douglas Counties are still experiencing drought conditions. Read the article on the State of the State to learn more about how 10 years of drought has been affecting our forest health. May is wildfire awareness month and we’ve got lots of articles to help you prepare for wildfire season. Check out what we’ve been doing in the aftermath of the 2020 Labor Day Fires, Listen to the Fire Episodes on our podcast, and learn when to choose the best time to burn slash piles. All this rain is bringing on the flowers! Bees love flowers. Check out the Bees in the Woods article to learn how to enhance bee habitat on your land. And, as always, we’ve got log price trends and a new tree ID article for you to enjoy.
