Benton Small Woodlands Summer Tour
Changing Over from Christmas Trees to Timber
Date: July 13, 2024
Time: 8:30 a.m.
Location: Kings Valley (Address provided upon RSVP)
Cost: Free
*Space is limited to 30 people, RSVP required.
Details:
Pat and Betty Malone’s Sunrise Tree Farm in northwest Benton County has been growing Christmas trees since 1968. The Malones started transitioning over to timber in 1995 on their less productive ground. They have been planting a mix of mostly Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine, with some western red cedar and incense cedar. The current challenge is deciding when and how much of the ponderosa pine to thin given current market conditions. Your input is welcomed.
The tour will include where Malones are planting acorns for oak and an oak restoration site. While Douglas-fir was a main component in Christmas trees, there is a different thought process for growing timber. Optional: Walk out to see our EarthScope geodetic monitoring station. This station tracks plate tectonic movement in our area.
Please RSVP by Thursday, July 11th with phone number & email to: crystal.kelso@oregonstate.edu or call (541) 730-3539

Program
Douglas-fir Decline and Mortality: What's the Risk?Laura Lowrey will describe our Douglas-fir Decline Complex. How did we end up with so many dead and dying Douglas-fir? Where are they dying? Why are they dying? Are they going to keep dying and where do we think that will be? How do we know if trees are dying because of this issue? How can we prioritize the risk of decline and mortality of our Douglas-fir at the landscape, stand and tree level? Can we do anything to keep our Douglas-fir alive?
Laura Lowrey is a Forest Entomologist, with a background in Ecology, Forestry and Forest Health from Michigan State University. She worked as a Forest Health Specialist for four years for NC State Forest Service, where she made many house calls to small and large private woodlots and tried to help landowners keep their trees healthy. She has been working for USFS Forest Health Protection for the last 19 years, 15 of them in the Rockies. Laura lives on a small woodlot of just about 6 acres in Talent and is raising two rowdy boys.
