Hello Harney County Restoration Collaborative;

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, March 22, at the Harney County Community Center beginning at 1 p.m.

We will have a presentation from Phil Jenkins and Zach Williams of Iron Triangle about what they are liking and disliking about the harvesting portion of the restoration program so far. Items they will be addressing are:
- How they like the prescriptions they’re being asked to implement on the ground.

- How is the restoration contract working for Iron Triangle economically?

- How many people are being employed to work on the restoration contracts by Iron Triangle?

- Pictures of treatments they like the looks of.

- Pictures of treatments they don’t like the looks of.

- What would make HCRC prescriptions better going forward:

· Economically?

· Ecologically?

· Socially?

- Any other aspects of restoration they would like to share with us.

In addition we will hear from Travis Swaim, Kerry Kemp, Lori Bailey and Josh Giles as to what they came up with as a consensus statement in regard to the conditions for allowing the cutting of trees greater than 21” in dbh and work some more on our Common Ground Principles of Agreement.

It should be a really interesting meeting. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
Jack Southworth
