Monday, Aug 11, 2008. Todays program on NW Forests was excellent. I suggest a follow up program re the almost unheard of juniper problem in Cewntral OR. Western Juniper began slowly taking over millions of acres throughout the area beginning in the 1870s when cattle and sheep grazing began. Obtain a copy of technical bulletin 152 June 2005, Biology, Ecology, and Management of Western Juniper published by Oregon State U. Numerous state and federal agencies, universities and private concerns were involved. I live in Prineville and received my copy from the Crook County extension service. This is a serious issue affecting agriculture, forestry, game management, water aquifers, scenery, and the economy in complex ways. The public needs to become aware of the issue and support USFS, BLM and other entities in effectively managing the issue. Thank you.
