Applegate

The Applegate AMA is a 324,680-acre area within the 500,000-acre Applegate watershed in southwestern Oregon and northern California. About 30 percent of the Applegate watershed is in private ownership. The AMA also includes lands managed by the Rogue River National Forest, the Siskiyou National Forest, and the Medford District of the BLM. Associated communities include Wilderville, Murphy, Provolt, Williams, Applegate, Ruch, Grants Pass, Jacksonville, and Medford, Oregon.

Best known for its association with the Applegate Partnership, the Applegate emphasizes developing and testing a variety of practices for sustainable forests and communities. This area is formally part of the international model forest network.

The AMA is managed by the Rogue River National Forest, Medford District Bureau of Land Management, and Siskiyou National Forest.
