The
Valley ponderosa plantation demonstration area did very well in its third year.
Grass control continued in the spring and scotch broom and hawthorn were hand
removed in the fall. The small oaks in the savanna are doing well also. Removal
of blackberries is an on going issue. The Eastern Oregon stand has not been as
successful. Control of the brush and grass is more difficult for the mixed
species. The Garden installed a demonstration sign and bench overlooking the
area. Thanks to the volunteers who assisted in the spring and fall work parties.
