U.S. Forest Service - Umpqua National Forest

Call Directions Website

The Umpqua National Forest is nestled on the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains.

Explosive geologic events shaped the distinctive landscape on the 983,129-acre forest, and provide spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. Visitors discover a diverse place of thundering waters, high mountain lakes, heart-stopping rapids, and peaceful ponds. The Forest is characterized by its many waterfalls, including the 293-foot Watson Falls on the North Umpqua Highway. The National Forest Foundation, chartered by Congress, engages Americans in community-based and national programs that promote the health and public enjoyment of the 193-million-acre National Forest System and administers private gifts of funds and land for the benefit of the National Forests. http://www.nationalforests.org/”

The Forest Service manages a system of 155 national forests, 20 national grasslands, and 222 research and experimental forests, as well as other special areas, covering more than 192 million acres of public land. The Forest Service has evolved into a 30,000 employee agency that manages the national forests for a number of multiple uses, including recreation, timber, wilderness, minerals, water, grazing, fish, and wildlife.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate National Public Lands Day with Umpqua National Forest and National Forest Foundation. Thanks to the dedication, hard work and enthusiasm of just over 20 volunteers, nearly 300 sugar pine trees were planted on the Diamond Lake Ranger District!

We were thrilled to welcome students from Wolf Creek Job Corps, former tree planters from the 1970s, and even a couple who traveled from California to lend a hand. It was inspiring to see people from different backgrounds and generations come together with a shared passion for caring for our public lands.

This area would have struggled to regenerate naturally, making this planting effort especially meaningful. Giving these sugar pines a helping hand supports long-term forest health, improves wildlife habitat, and restores the landscape while preserving beautiful views.

To every volunteer who showed up, dug in, planted trees, and helped make this volunteer event a success – THANK YOU!

Wolf Creek Job Corps in Action
Last week, Wolf Creek Job Corps cement and welding students put their skills to work at Dorena Genetic Resource Center, hand mixing a palette and a half of cement to create drain runoffs.

These drain runoffs are located between the Port Orford Cedar shade house and the brand new, nearly completed, Native Plant Program shade house, which also had cement poured by Job Corps students. The new Native plant Program shade house will be used to grow many trees, shrubs, forbs and ferns which will be used to meet active forest management reforestation and restoration goals.

This hands-on project gave students the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills on a real-world project while working together to set these shade houses up for success. We are so appreciative of the Wolf Creek Job Corps students for their hard work and dedication around the shade houses at the Dorena Genetic Resource Center.

Bats play a vital role in keeping our forests healthy. From eating crop-damaging insects to pollinating plants and helping forests regenerate. These incredible nocturnal helpers are essential to the ecosystems we protect every day.
