The Council meets every third Tuesday of the month at 5:30pm at the Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Burns.
One project that our council is especially excited about is our educational project producing interpretive panels to be placed on Steens Mountain in the Congressionally-mandated Wildlands Juniper Management Area (WJMA). The purpose of the WJMA demonstration plots is to educate the public on the issue of juniper encroachment into sagebrush ecosystems, explain the purpose and findings of the demonstration plots, and convey the importance of managing Southeast Oregon’s expanding juniper woodlands. Partners in this project include OWEB, Burns District of the Bureau of Land Management, Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center, private landowners, and Rocky Mountain Elk Association.
