 A focus of the Summer Newsletter is Smokey Bear and his 80th birthday.  Members celebrate his birthday at the Summer Picnic and recall their experiences with Smokey  and his friends.  Meet the new R6 Regional Forester,  find out what is happening on the Colville NF, Carol Cushing and Roy Roosevelt share their experiences of navigating the human resourse system during their careers, learn about the Northwest Forest Plan amendment update. and much more.

      We stay up to date on National Forest management and issues as well as Pacific Northwest Research accomplishments.

We gather for lunch the last Friday of most months at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Portland, OR, and each year at a banquet in May and a picnic in August.
