Attendees at this year’s tour will:
Connect landowners, contractors, and land managers who could work together to implement cross-boundary projects
Explore different approaches to restoration projects across Forest Service, Tribal, and private lands, each with a unique set of restoration goals, challenges, and objectives.
Learn more about the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation’s First Foods Mission and reserved treaty rights to hunting and gathering.
Provide input on current and future restoration planning.
Carpooling is highly encouraged as there is limited parking along the tour.
