South Umpqua Falls in Winter, South Umpqua River, Douglas County, Oregon (J. Laurance, December 10, 2009).

The purpose of this study is to produce a reliable landscape-scale description of late precontact (pre-1826; ca. 1800) reference forest conditions for the eastern portion of present-day Tiller Ranger District of the Umpqua National Forest in Douglas County, Oregon. The primary intended use of this information is to help update Community Wildfire Protection Plans.

The resulting description has been assembled from a comprehensive range of cultural, historical, and contemporary sources of information and results are displayed in a wide variety of formats -- including maps, texts, tables, photographs, video, GIS layers, and Internet -- in order to reach the broadest possible audience over time, to provide full transparency in how these materials have been interpreted, and to encourage optimum practical uses of these resources.
