New kiosk at Wild Iris Ridge Park and first kiosk the western portion of the Ridgeline <br />Park System, reaching a new area of the community with outreach information. <br />July 30, 2017 — July 29, 2018: Thinned 6 acres by hand at Skinner Butte <br />(Picture 2-7) and thinned 29 acres at Arlie Park. Placed "Team Up for Fire <br />Safety" posters at 7 trailhead kiosks. Placed large -format poster at Skinner <br />Butte's kiosk which receives 50-100 visitors per day during the summer. <br />Installed one new kiosk built during the July 30, 2016 thru July 29, 2017 <br />reporting period. Conducted a "Cascadia Prairie -Oak Cooperative Field <br />Tour" for 25 ecologists, restoration practitioners, and land managers from <br />regional government agencies and non-profit organizations. This daylong <br />event covered mutual goals of habitat improvement and fuels reduction in <br />oak and prairie habitats of western Oregon, the use of prescribed fire to <br />prevent establishment of new woody vegetation, and forestry techniques <br />used for thinning shrubs and trees. From an outreach perspective, the <br />Skinner Butte project was highly visible and offered the opportunity to <br />spread wildfire risk and awareness information to a new segment of the <br />community — a more urban population comprised of residences, businesses, <br />and incidental site users from across the City. <br />2-64 January 2020 <br />
