ORWW Elliott State Educational Forest

ARTICLES

The following five article/editorials regarding the history and context of the "Giesy Plan" and the proposed public management of the Elliott State Forest were published in the Spring 2014, Spring 2017, Summer 2017, and Summer 2019 issues of Oregon Fish & Wildlife Journal. They were all written by Dr. Bob Zybach, who has been a regular contributor of articles and editorials to the magazine for several years on the topics of forest science, fire history, and resource management.

Wayne Giesy has been a tireless supporter of his "Oregon Plan" (aka "Giesy Plan") solution to the so-called "Forest Wars" of the western US for more than 30 years. This 2014 article provides background, insight, and some context to his continued efforts to promote this idea. It should be noted that Mr. Giesy's proposal is most accurately depicted on pie-charts B and C on the pg. 39 table (below).
