JOHN DAY — A group of land management professionals from around the world will visit John Day May 11-14 as part of an international seminar on forest landscape restoration.

Seminar participants will go on field visits in and around the Malheur National Forest to the Camp Creek Restoration Area, Oxbow Conservation Area and the Antelope Valley Aspen Restoration Area to see a range of activities in action, from stream restoration to the economic benefits of restoration.

They will learn about tools and best practices for assessing forest landscape restoration opportunities, developing and implementing landscape restoration plans and fostering collaborative partnerships.
