The Clackamas Meadows Timber Sale is located in the northwest corner of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The sale will be used to treat and manage 24,161 acres of tribal forest lands. The sale will be used to address forest health issues, provide local employment for WSR communities, provide economic income for the Tribes and in some places help enhance cultural plant communities, such as huckleberry.

Project goals include:
-  Commercial thinning plantations that were harvested in the 1960's and early 1970's.
-  Treating forest stands that have root disease, mistletoe and other biotic factors.
-  Limiting the footprint of the timber sale by consolidating treatment areas.
-  Provide economic benefits to the Tribes.
-  Assess areas that show potential for huckleberry habitat improvement.

Two wildlife management zones are protected during the duration of the project through seasonal closures to logging. The Wilson Creek Wildlife Management Zone is approximately 8,039 acres while the Big Meadows Wildlife Management Zone is 5,636 acres. Shutdowns in these zones are for various reasons but include fawning times in the spring and summer for elk and other game species.

Guidance for this project is provided through an interdisciplinary group and guiding documents such as the Integrated Resources Management Plan (IRMP). These processes ha all been adopted through Tribal Council. As part of the requirement projects such as this timber sale are to provide opportunities for public input.
