Maintaining Oregon's forest resources is a matter of science, conservation and careful planning. ​

Over three-fourths of Oregon's forest fires are caused by people. In this feature, we look at how people also battle forest fires to protect our natural resources.

Oceanscape Youth Correspondent Russell Stone is on a mission to count wild turkeys with a little help from our friends at the Greenbelt Land Trust. Learn how Russell and other volunteers are helping scientists study these birds through citizen science projects like this one!

The Gail Achterman Wildlife Area (historically known as Hayden Island) was ravaged by a gravel pit operation and the invasion on non-native plants — but the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife has a plan to fix that. Join Ann Kreager, an ODFW field biologist, and our Oceanscape Youth Correspondents, as they survey the island and explore how its native vegetation is being restored in a 4-part video series.
