We periodically convene informational forums and other events to learn more about some of the issues the group is addressing and to share information about what the BMFP is working on with the community.

Economics Forum

Summer/Fall 2008: Date and time to be announced

Forest Restoration Science Forum

September 24, 2007

Blue Mountain Forest Partners participants convened this forum with the following goals in mind:

• Provide BMFP members with access to the same scientific information.

• Learn and understand the scientific research behind different perspectives.

• Present information on issues that are contentious (e.g. fire, soils) as well as issues where there is common ground; strive to augment zones of agreement.

• Identify what science can tell us and what we still do not know; seek resolution on how to move forward given the uncertainty in some science.
  

Five scientists were invited to participate in the forum including: Paul Adams (Oregon State University), Jim Agee (University of Washington), Stephen Fitzgerald (Oregon State University), Mark Henjum (Umatilla Wildlife Biologist), Steve Zack (Wildlife Conservation Society).
