Prescribed fire has been used for many years for hazard reduction and site preparation, especially in the southern and southwestern pine forests. Little has been done, however, in Douglas-fir partial cuts or natural stands in the Pacific Northwest. This note reports on two experimental trials using prescribed fire for hazard reduction in two 60+-year old second-growth Douglas-fir stands in Oregon.
