There are spaces available in a forest collaborative in Wasco County beginning to work on getting a clearing project done in the Rocky Burn area near Wamic.  That area was badly burned in the 1970’s, and County Commissioner Steve Kramer says it needs to be cleaned up to protect the Sportsmen’s Park area from fire.  Kramer says stakeholders are working to formally put together the collaborative so they can apply for about 50-to-60 thousand dollars in state funds to put together the project.  He adds they still need representatives from the forest industry, environmental groups, community wildfire protection, watershed protection, recreation and tourism, private landowners, tribal members, and local, state, and federal agencies.  To take part, call the Wasco County Commission office at 541-506-2520.
