Research
The Limber Jim Fuels Reduction Project is on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, La Grande Ranger District along a ridge-top between the Limber Jim and Hoodoo Creek drainages and the boundary of the La Grande Municipal Watershed. The project area is approximately 2,500 acres.
ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT RESEARCH
Limber Jim is one point in an adaptive management cycle, meaning that this study incorporates information we learned from previous studies.
This study should be considered a management experiment. Results from this experiment can be applied to a larger scale.
Science needs to be put to work. Reliable information gathered through a management experiment such as this needs to be transferred as quickly as possible to forest managers who put the new knowledge to work in larger scales.
This study collected information on economics and environmental effects simultaneously, and can therefore allow the manager to assess tradeoffs.
