Timeline
History of
the Five Rivers watershed as we currently understand it
This
figure describes perceived changes in stand types through time. Stands initiated after the Yaquina fire were either burned again (Multiple fire) or
clearcut before or after the herbicide injunction (Managed > and <25 yrs). Riparian and Old-growth forests make up less
than 10% of the watershed.
