REGISTRATION INFORMATION for the Symposium
Planted Forests: Contributions to Sustainable Societies
June 28 - July 1, 1995
With the Pacific Northwest region of the United States as a backdrop,
leaders in a number of forest-related areas will illustrate the
variety, nature and significance of planted and managed forests in our
societies. The Planted Forests Symposium will discuss attributes and
values of these forests in all their forms from extensively planted
forests in mountainous wildlands to intensively cultured fiber
plantations. Planted forest systems will be emphasized in appropriate
context with other managed forests and with native forest systems.

Day 4, July 1 Field Trips
A. Wind River Field Trip (Cost is $65.00)
Coordinator: Dean DeBell, U.S.F.S., Pacific Northwest Research
Station, Olympia
This field trip promises an excellent post-symposium excursion that
will feature a variety of historical and contemporary topics related
to planted forests. The trip follows a spectacular scenic route up
the Columbia Gorge to the Wind River Experimental Forest and
Arboretum. Stops will include a 70-year-old Douglas-fir spacing
study, mixed planting trials of Douglas-fir and red alder, and the
old-growth canopy crane. (8:00 am-5:30 pm.)
B. Hybrid Poplar Field Trip (Cost is $75.00)
Coordinators: Bill Atkinson, Forest Engineering Dept., Dave Hibbs,
Forest Science Dept., OSU
This one-day trip will combine a rare opportunity to visit the most
intensively managed plantations in the world with a guided tour
through the beautiful and historic Columbia Gorge. Participants will
visit hybrid poplar forests established in the dry eastern region of
Oregon using drip irrigation and fertilization systems. You will be
able to discuss scientific and operational aspects with local managers
and researchers. Dinner is included. (8:00 am-9:00 pm)
C. Mount St. Helens Field Trip (Cost is $65.00)
Coordinator: Jack Winjum, Environmental Research Laboratory, EPA,
Corvallis
On May 18, 1980, an eruption blew off the top 1300 feet of Mt. St.
Helens and started a series of eruptions that would eventually
devastate approximately 230 sq. miles of old-growth and second-growth
conifer forests. The field trip will enter the western portion of the
blast zone to view the crater's interior as well as areas undergoing
natural recovery, post-eruptions plantations, and devastated forest
ecosystems. The trip also offers many opportunities to observe new
geological features plus associated plant and animal re-establishments
from high points as well as up close. (8:30 am-6:00 pm.)
D. Tillamook State Forest Field Trip (Cost is $65.00)
Coordinators: Ray Craig and Mike Bordelon, Oregon Department of
Forestry
Forty years of hard work is finally beginning to pay off. The 360,000
acre Tillamook State Forest is one of the largest planted forests in
the world. The forest rose out of the ashes of four devastating fires
in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. A 12 million dollar bond and work of
thousands of Oregonians reforested the burned-over area to Douglas-fir
that is worth over 8 billion dollars today. The field trip will focus
on management challenges of biological diversity, recreation,
fisheries and riparian concerns, and plans for the future of this
forest now reaching commercial thinning stages. (8:00 am-5:00 pm)
Field trips will leave from and return to the Portland Convention
Center July 1. More information will be included in the confirmation
packet. Separate registration and fees are required for field trips.

Thursday evenings. Posters solicited include (but not limited to) the
following aspects of planted forests: Biological and Ecological;
Social and Policy; Forest Products and Economics; and Silviculture and
Engineering. Pictorial displays, slide-tapes, videos, and computer
