Bill Schaupp's caption: "Don Goheen and Bob Schroeter helping me remeasure the individual sugar pine enhancement treatment evaluation called WolfPine. I cannot retire until we have remeasured and published this now 16-year miracle of a study on BLM and USFS managed lands near Glide, OR, in the Little River Adaptive Management Area, one of the few actual adaptive management studies taking advantage of the AMA designation."
Bill's 2018 notes about the WolfPine project:
"Here’s the WolfPine project timeline as best I can determine:
1997--- find and select sugar pine to be focus trees with assistance of Wolf Creek Job Corps Center
1997 & 1998 --- pretreatment data collected and establishment report written
1998 - 2000--- treatments implemented (i.e. timber sale and brush cutting)
2001--- piles burned
2001--- post-treatment data collected, evaluation period begins
2006--- some data collected for 5 year results
2010--- more intensive data collected for 9 year results and report written with some 5- and mostly 9-year results
2017 - 2018--- intensive data collected for 16 year results"
