The following six field trips formed the basis of much of the research that went into this draft plan. Each of the trips was accompanied by a 10- to 20-page handout including a planned itinerary, relevant background references, a map, and select photos and text excerpts. The itinerary outline and map are included for each of the field trips in this appendix. Complete handouts in PDF and Word (for updating and editing) formats, with active links, are available here: http://www.orww.org/Elliott_Forest/Recreation/Field_Trips

Base maps for these field trips were constructed by Amber Ross, Elliott Land Manager for the Oregon Department of State Lands, during a series of oral history interviews while touring the Elliott with Jerry Phillips during Fall 2017. Field trip-related annotations are by Bob Zybach.
