Description

Join us on the last Tuesday of each month for History Pub at Worthy Brewing hosted by the Deschutes Historical Museum Next Event: Tuesday, November 29th, 7:00 pm-9:00 pm Two Centuries of Fire Management in the Forests of Oregon: Consequences of Changing Relationships between People and Wildfire Join historian Jeff LaLande for an overview of the changing role of fire - as well as the changing role of people fighting fire - in our heavily forested region. From the impact of "anthropogenic" fire set by indigenous people and early White settlers to all-out fire suppression efforts by the US Forest Service following the disastrous fire of 1910, past policies have, along with changing climate, contributed to today’s unprecedented wildland fire crisis. A resident of southwestern Oregon for over fifty years, LaLande earned a Ph.D. in American history at the U of O and is the author of several books and numerous journal articles. He retired from a 30-year career with the US Forest Service as an archaeologist and historian but continues as a consultant in both of those fields.
