Central Cascades

The Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area is a 158,000 acre area on BLM and Forest Service lands that includes portions of the South Santiam, Calapooia, and McKenzie watershed in the Cascade mountains. 

The Central Cascades focuses on bringing together researchers, communities, and resource managers to answer social and biophysical questions at the ecosystem and landscape level.  This area has a long history of cooperative efforts between researchers and land managers at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest and is managed by the Willamette National Forest and the Eugene District Bureau of Land Management. Associated communities include Sweet Home, Vida, Leaburg, Nimrod, Blue River, McKenzie Bridge, Eugene, Walterville, and Springfield, Oregon.
