Interest in the Young Stand Thinning and Diversity Study has been high. Tours, presentations, and workshops have been conducted since 1993. A video is available through the Oregon State University Forestry Media Center. The Cascade Center produced a publication in 2001 entitled Communique: Management in Young Forests which includes a more detailed summary of the study as well as a listing of related studies and publications.
