Forest Bridges has teamed up with Jane Ratzlaff, Family Development Center, and the In a Landscape organization to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of the Archie Creek Fire, one of five megafires that burned over 1 million acres of BLM O&C, US Forest Service, State and private forests during the 2020 Labor Day Fires across western Oregon, creating severe ecological, economic and community impacts.
This concert will be performed by In a Landscape pianist Hunter Noak and take place at the Millpond Recreation Site, where the Archie Creek Fire swept over 125,000 acres of forests in Douglas County, destroying 154 homes and leaving more than 50% of acres burned in a state of unrestored stand replacement conditions.
Located at an old logging mill pond along Rock Creek, Millpond Recreation Site is surrounded to this day by a scorched forest. The BLM has conducted some recreational site and stream restoration work - and the site will be accessible and safe for this public concert.
Get an up-close look and learn about the remnants of high-severity wildfire in the heart of western Oregon’s logging and recreation country, and the ancestral land of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians.
Forest Bridges will also share with concert attendees how its policy efforts stand to shift the O&C Lands management paradigm to restore and sustain the health and fire resilience of O&C forest ecosystems and their plant and animal species, while providing sustainable ecosystem services, boosting rural forest-reliant economies, protecting the health and well-being of people in western Oregon, and assisting O&C counties that rely on timber receipts to fund vital community services.

Beginners as well as those with experience are welcome. In addition to doing exercises in class, we will look at great drawings of the past to discern the elements that make up their beauty.
