Pacific Northwest Research Station

The diversity and depth of partnerships at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range represent a shining success story of Forest Service research informing adaptive management. For the last several decades, Starkey’s lead scientist, Michael Wisdom, has focused on creating and nurturing fruitful collaborations that reinforce the Pacific Northwest Research Station’s gold-standard reputation for applied science.

The Meadow Creek Collaborative is built on a grassroots foundation of long-term partnerships. Research hydrologist Adam Price explains some of the goals of the project, which include sustaining the First Foods of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
