Forest Restoration: Problems and Opportunities
This article is the second of a series of four published in Oregon Fish & Wildlife Journal during 2012. The series was specific to the prediction and mitigation of forest and prairie wildfires in Oregon, but has general application for most forests and grassslands in the western U.S. -- particularly those lands managed by the federal government. The other three articles in the series (one is actually a short introductory editorial), and an earlier article I coauthored regarding Wildfire Economics (which is directly referenced in the introduction to this series), are linked in the table below.
This was first published in the Spring of 2012, by Cristy Rein, long-time editor and publisher of Oregon Fish & Wildlife Journal. The Journal doesn't publish an online version of their magazine for business and advertising reasons, but have a focused distribution of 10,000: including all members of Congress and "1,000 doctors, lawyers, and business waiting rooms across rural Oregon." The large number of loyal advertisers are heavily represented by family-owned logging, trucking, sawmilling, nursery, landscaping, and construction businesses.

The PDF file link in the citation is to the final draft of this article (missing the final two words: "is now"), formatted exactly as it appeareed in the magazine, but without the full pages of advertisements on each of the six facing pages -- which is kind of too bad, because they clearly demonstrate and identify the primary audience this article was written for.
