More about DRGC from Richard Sniezko:
DGRC is a regional genetics facility for the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), and has worked with developing disease resistance in forest trees since 1966. DGRC is also involved in genetic conservation and other genetic related issues in forest trees, as well as being the national USFS lead for Tree Climbing certification, and is also active in native species restoration and conservation education. DGRC has many partners and coooperators in OR & WA and beyond, including Canada, Hawaii, and tribes. Although a USFS facility, DGRC is located on BLM land.

Overcrowded forest stand in the Black Hills. Overcrowded forest stands are one of the number one resource concerns within the Black Hills. Overcrowded forest stands create the perfect conditions for catastrophic wildland fires. These stands often stagnate and grow very little. Trees in these stands are also more stressed. This increases the chances of large beetle infestations causing large areas of tree mortality. Overcrowded forest stands can be treated through precommercial thinning to reduce the number of trees and therefore increase resource availability. The desired benefits on forested acres in South Dakota can include more understory grasses and vegetation for livestock grazing and wildlife grazing. Forest thinning will allow more sunlight and moisture to infiltrate the forest floor and improve the grasses and forbs growing there.
Resource concerns in this photo include Plant Structure and Composition, Wildfire Hazard.
Plant Structure and Composition – Imbalance of one species of tree or one age class of trees.
Degraded plant composition occurs when there is a lack of diversity of plant species within a geographic area or an imbalance in the relative abundance of plant species. Degraded structure refers to plant density, distribution patterns, or height and layering that is not suited to providing the desired conservation benefits and products.
Wildfire Hazard – tree stand is too thick, has too many ladder fuel trees, and canopy is closed.
Fire can be an important and often beneficial part of the natural ecosystem; however, uncontrolled or “wild” fire can pose threats to life, health, and property. Excessive fuel loads can result in a fire too intense, causing damage to the desired plant community and site conditions. In addition, the secondary effects of some wildfires, including erosion, landslides, introduction of invasive species, and changes in water quality, are often more disastrous than the fire itself.
•Overstocked forest increases the risk of fire outbreak
•Continuous fuels increase the risk of the spread of fire
•Abundance of ladder fuels increase fire intensity and potential rate of spread
Practices that can address these resource concerns:
383 Fuel Break - A strip or block of land on which the vegetation, debris, and detritus have been reduced and/or modified to control or diminish the risk of the spread of fire crossing the strip or block of land. Control and reduce the risk of the spread of fire by treating, removing, or modifying vegetation, debris, and detritus.
666 Forest Stand Improvement - The manipulation of species composition, stand structure, or stand density by cutting or killing selected trees or understory vegetation to achieve desired forest conditions or obtain ecosystem services. Consider crop tree management (Perkey et al. 1994) when making decisions about which trees to retain and which to cut, kill cut, or kill.

A five row shelterbelt such as this one is often used for farmstead or livestock protection.
Resource Concern: Energy efficiency of equipment and facilities
Windbreaks or shelterbelts are barriers used to reduce wind speed and usually consist of trees, shrubs, or a combination. For the greatest protection, the windbreak needs to be oriented perpendicular to the troublesome winds. In South Dakota and the great plains region, the windbreak is placed on the north and west sides of the area needing protection.
The diversion of wind and reduction in wind speed behind a windbreak modifies the environmental conditions in this sheltered zone. The sheltered zone extends as far as ten to fifteen times the height of the windbreak downwind from the windbreak. The greatest wind reduction occurs between two to five times the height of the windbreak downwind. For maximum wind protection, the windbreak needs to be dense and tall.
The farmstead located in the sheltered zone will require less energy for heating due to the modified environmental conditions. Individual savings depend on local site and climatic conditions, the building’s construction quality, an individual’s living habits, and the design and condition of the windbreak.
Windbreaks may also be used to:
• Protect livestock – increase feed efficiency, increase weight gains, increase survival of newborns, improve animal health, and ultimately increase profits
• Reduce wind erosion by slowing the wind speed and protecting the area directly behind the windbreak
• Reduce pesticide drift
• Filter dust and other air pollutants;
• Provide wildlife travel corridors and habitat
• Store carbon
• Reduce noise

From the news release for the event:
"The USDA Forest Service’s Dorena Genetic Resource Center is celebrating 50 years of serving as a regional service center for Pacific Northwest tree and plant genetics.
Dorena GRC houses disease-resistance breeding programs for five-needled pines and Port-Orford-cedar, a native plant development program, and a national tree climbing program for the Forest Service. Their program is known internationally as a world leader in development of populations of trees with genetic resistance to non-native diseases.
The public is invited to the 50th celebration on Thursday, August 25 at the Cottage Grove-based center located 34963 Shoreview Road. The Open House and public tours are scheduled from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Tours of the center will include:
Genetic Resistance Trials
Inoculation ‘Fog’ Chamber
Tree Improvement Activities of Grafting, Pollination, & Seed Production
Port-Orford-cedar Containerized Orchards
Native Species Plant Development
Seed and Pollen Processing
Tree Climbing
A special guest at the event will be Jerry Barnes, the first manager at Dorena when established in 1966. All guests will be able to enjoy viewing informative posters about the programs and activities at the Center. ..."

Corps' Natural Resource Specialist Ranger John Mueller describes the damages Quagga mussels inflict on our lakes and dams.
Over 900 participants descended on the Tucumcari, N.M. Outdoor Classroom to celebrate the 41st Annual Earth Day on April 21, 2011. Students and teachers from Tucumcari, Fort Sumner, San Jon, and Logan, N.M., elementary schools attended the all-day event that rotated groups of students through 10 separate learning stations. Presenters included experts from the Nature Conservancy speaking about reptiles and amphibians, the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs on archeology, an entomologist from New Mexico State University on butterflies, New Mexico Game and Fish on New Mexico wildlife, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Corps’ Natural Resource Specialist Ranger John Mueller from the District’s Conchas Lake and Ranger Bob Mumford from the District’s Santa Rosa Lake provided 20 interpretive presentations that centered on the invasive species known as the Zebra/Quagga mussel. Students learned about the nuisance species’ origin, history, how to identify them and ways to prevent their spread to new habitats.
Ranger Mueller unveiled a new educational tool: a Quagga mussel infested propeller that had been submerged in Lake Mead, Nevada for 13 months and is now enclosed in a protected display case. This helped inspire interest and provoked many questions from the students.
