DATIL, N.M.—Donning little more than a backpack, a GPS and a good pair of boots, thousands of youths from across the country are going on an adventure at the Torstenson Family Wildlife Center (TFWC) that may from across the country are going on an adventure at the Torstenson Family Wildlife Center (TFWC) that may well stick with them for a lifetime, thanks to an extraordinary partnership between the Boy Scouts of America well stick with them for a lifetime, thanks to an extraordinary partnership between the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Elk Foundation.
And now negotiations are underway to give Elk Foundation volunteers and their family members the opportunity to take in this awesome high-adventure experience for themselves.
Dubbed the Double H High Adventure Base, the Scouts’ program sends participants on a seven-day trek hiking off -trail across the Elk Foundation’s 100,000-acre New Mexico ranch, the Torstenson Family Wildlife Center. A staff guide leads crews of 7 to 10 scouts, teaching them map, compass and Global Positioning System (GPS) skills, geocaching, black powder shooting, archery, astronomy, wilderness medicine and “leave no trace” camping. Crews also learn about the North American model of hunting and game management and become profi cient in identifying plants and animals present on the ranch.
Nearly 2,000 teens and adult scout leaders have completed the High Adventure Base program at the TFWC over the past two summers. “Th ings are going great,” says Mark Anderson, who oversees the program for the over the past two summers. “Th ings are going great,” says Mark Anderson, who oversees the program for the BSA. He is program director at the Philmont Scout Ranch in northern New Mexico. Th e BSA considers the Double H High Adventure Base an extension of the Philmont Scout Ranch, which is similar in size at 137,493 acres but hosts upwards of 20,000 scouts each summer and has a waiting list of 30,000. Most scouts at Philmont do a 10-day backpacking trek along its network of trails that connect multiple staff ed camps and food resupply outposts. Since adventures at the Double H are off -trail and the ranch has only one staff ed camp and food resupply, it is considered a more strenuous lesson in survival and a more demanding adventure than Philmont.
While at the Double H base, each crew completes a three-hour habitat enhancement project to benefi t the TFWC. Over the past two years this has translated into thousands of man-hours of free labor on the ranch. In the largest habitat project to date, Boy Scouts built 200 rock bars along a dry drainage on the ranch to capture

MISSOULA, Mont.—Weather was perfect for the 2007 Habitat Council meeting in Missoula June 22 and 23. Th e company wasn’t half bad either.
About 50 Habitat Council members converged on the new headquarters in Missoula for the council’s annual summer meeting. Th e Elk Foundation staff always schedules a project tour for the summer council meetings, which this year ended in a mission accomplishment surprise.
First stop on the tour was a recent acquisition, the 3,500-acre Maclay ranch south of Missoula, followed by a drive through an adjacent ranch the Elk Foundation is also hoping to protect. Th e properties host a rare, uninterrupted migration corridor for elk traveling between the Bitterroot and Sapphire mountain ranges.
Th e group then traveled south for lunch and a tour of the historic 50-room Daly Mansion, the 1880’s-era summer home of copper baron and millionaire Marcus Daly. Council members knew the staff was planning some sort of surprise for
them later in the tour, but didn’t know what until they ended at a hilltop property owned by fellow Habitat Council members Rick and Penney Oncken, overlooking the Bitterroot River and Missoula Valley.
Th en a very powerful pen came out. And that little bit of ink protected a lot of land with a few magical strokes.
For this group to witness the signing of a 500-acre conservation easement amid dots of elk droppings, ponderosa pines, open meadows and a view of Montana’s magnifi cent Mission Mountains on a sun-drenched day, well, it just doesn’t get much better than that.
Th e Onckens have supported the Elk Foundation’s mission on many levels and were thrilled to be able to help the organization as conservation easement donors. Rick is a current board member. He and Penney are Habitat Partners, were lead contributors to both the new headquarters building campaign and the Elk Foundation’s

Thanks to Oregon’s Forest Practices Act, other environmental protection laws and a variety of management objectives, there is a mosaic of diverse forest stands across the state. Oregon currently harvests about 4 billion “board feet” of timber per year, enough to build about 266,000 three-bedroom homes. This harvest amount is less than half the total growth in forest timber each year.

Scenic Buffers - Buffers are left to protect visual quality on designated scenic highways.
Protection of Water Resources - Stream, lake and wetland buffers are required to protect water quality and fish habitat.
Protection of Wildlife Habitat - Live trees, snags, and downed wood are left after harvest as wildlife habitat. Nesting areas of sensitive wildlife species are protected from disturbance.
Regulation of Roads - Road building is strictly regulated to protect water quality and reduce the chance of erosion.
In the Field“Riparian” refers to the area on or near the banks of a river or other body of water. When looking at a landscape from above, the riparian zone often looks like a bright green ribbon of bushes and broadleaf trees running along both sides of a river or stream. Next time you are near a river, see if you can find the “green ribbon” of riparian area!
The Oregon Forest Practices Act, passed in 1971, outlines management practices that foresters must consider when planning timber harvests on state or private lands. Federal agencies, while not required to follow Oregon law, usually meet or exceed these requirements. Scientific research is used to update forest regulations and practices as needed. Some of the requirements stipulated by the Forest Practices Act are:
Limit on Clearcuts - Clearcut size is limited.
Reforestation - Clearcuts must be replanted with thriving trees within two years of harvest.

The Oregon Forest Book:Ecology, Economy and Society
These interact with one another and with the non-living part of their environment - including the soil, water and minerals - to
make up what we recognize as a forest.
Forest ecosystems benefit more than the plants and animals that call them home. Forests offer people recreation opportunities, wildlife viewing and scenic buffers between human developments. Forests are economic
engines for neighboring communities, providing commercial products, jobs and tax support for local governments and community services.
SustainabilityEcological, social and economic benefits of forests are all important to Oregon’s citizens. Using our forests sustainably, so they continue to provide these important benefits far into the future, requires us to recognize the interdependent relationship among these various uses and to acknowledge the need for balance among them.
Ecological Value The forest floor provides food, shelter and habitat for animals, from the simplest worm to the biggest bear. Tree roots help stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. The roof of the forest, called the “canopy,” helps regulate forest temperature and moisture. Forests also capture carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas), produce oxygen and filter water to keep it clean. These are all important ecological functions of forests.
Social Value Forests provide places for people to relax, rejuvenate and have fun. Each year, thousands of Oregonians visit our forests to go hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and to view wildlife. Another reason forests are important to society is that they provide all of the wood products that we use on a daily basis, such as housing, furniture, newspaper, books and cardboard.
Economic Value Oregon harvests more conifers (cone-bearing evergreens) than any other state, and is the leading producer of softwood lumber in the nation. More than 85,000 people in Oregon earn a living by working directly with the state’s forest sector. The forest sector provides about 4 percent of all jobs in the state. Forestry is especially important to rural economies, with over 80 percent of forestry-related jobs located in communities outside of the Portland metropolitan area.
Forests cover almost half of all Oregon land. The first thing you may notice about a forest is that it is dominated by trees. But a forest is really a complex ecosystem that consists of many interacting communities of living organisms. These include:

Mike’s Career Pathway
Wildlife Biologist
Mike RochelleJob:WildlifeBiologistandHabitatSpecialist
Although Mike Rochelle always has been interested in studying animals and wildlife, it was a different animal that drew him to forestry – people. “I grew up around forestry and came to see that everyone in this field entered into it because they love the resource,” said Mike, whose father is a wildlife biologist too. “The love of the outdoors, the trees and the land is what seems to drive everyone who studies forestry.”
Mike spends his days ensuring the well-being of the wildlife living in and around potential forest harvest sites by planning how best to maintain habitat quality. Surprisingly, most of this work is done from the office, and includes important tasks like reviewing written
timber harvest plans or coordinating contracts for wildlife surveys. When Mike does get into the field, his work may include reviewing potential harvest sites, evaluating timber stands for wildlife issues and surveying for threatened and endangered species.
“My job is to generally protect the diverse needs of the wildlife on company land and to ensure we comply with federal and state regulations as well as our own internal policies
relative to wildlife. I serve as a liaison on wildlife issues between Weyerhaeuser and regulatory agencies.” Mike is a strong believer in the compatibility of managed
forests and wildlife diversity and abundance, and he enjoys being part of a team that includes wildlife well-being as one of its management goals.

Father of American ForestryWhen Gifford Pinchot entered Yale University in 1885 and decided to make forestry his profession, there were no American role models to follow. While the forestry profession was recognized in Europe, it did not yet exist in America. Pinchot wrote at the time, “I had no more conception of what it meant to be a forester than the man in the moon. But at least a forester worked in the woods and I loved the woods and everything about them.”
A friendship with Theodore Roosevelt led to Pinchot’s appointment as head of the Division of Forestry in the Roosevelt Administration, and in 1905 he became the first chief of the newly established U.S. Forest Service. His forest management philosophy incorporating timber harvest, conservation and recreation still guides the Forest Service today.
As westward migration across the Oregon Trail brought thousands of families in need of shelter, Oregon’s trees became an important resource. In 1827, the Hudson Bay Company set up the first sawmill west of the Mississippi River, on the north shore of the Columbia River. In 1938, Oregon became the leading U.S. state for softwood timber production, a position it still holds today.
Forestry as a profession in the United States dates back more than a century, and Oregon was one of the early leaders in the field. The first Oregon course in forestry was offered at Oregon Agricultural College, later to become Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvallis. Two years later, in 1898, the first school of forestry in the U.S. opened at Cornell University. In 1906,
a year after the U.S. Forest Service became a Federal agency, OSU offered a four-year undergraduate and a one-year graduate program in forestry. By 1913, the School of Forestry was established at OSU, laying a solid foundation for Oregon’s forestry profession in the years to come.
Gifford Pinchot (1865-1946)
Foresters and forest products manufacturers are part of a long forest sector legacy. Oregon’s original Native American inhabitants developed a sophisticated understanding of natural systems, especially forests and rivers. The wood they obtained from Oregon’s vast stands of Douglas-fir, cedar and other trees provided for many staples, including shelter, clothing, containers and ceremonial objects. Native peoples used fire and other techniques to create clearings for berry crops and to promote grazing by elk. In a sense, they were Oregon’s original forest managers.

Equipment Use and WildfiresYou may be around people who use power equipment every day. But did you know that careless use of equipment – lawn mowers, trail bikes, ATVs, chain saws, etc. – is a main cause of wildfires in Oregon?
Let’s take a close look at some common equipment to learn how a wildfire might be caused. The drawings below show equipment often used in or near forests. When used carelessly, this type of equipment can be a heat
or a fuel source for wildfires. Color the equipment or equipment parts as described in items 1-5. Some pieces of equipment may have more than one color.
1. Some have parts that get very hot – hot enough to ignite dry fuels that they touch. Locate these parts on the drawings and color them orange.
2. Some have moving parts that can cause hot sparks when they hit a rock, igniting dry fuels they touch. Color these yellow.
3. Some are used with certain equipment and can spill their contents – contents that ignite easily. Color these red.
4. Some heat up grasses and brush that touch them, even if they are not really hot to the touch. Color these blue.
5. And some are safety equipment that can be used to help put out a fire if it does start. Color these green.
