Another Generation Note Card
Mount Jefferson looks down on a new generation of Douglas Fir trees regenerated in a clearcut on the western slopes of the Cascade Mountain Range of Western Oregon in Jefferson, Linn and Marion counties.
This mountain is the second highest peak in Oregon at 10,495 feet. It was seen by explorers Lewis and Clark on Sunday, March 30, 1806 from a point near the mouth of the Willamette River and it was named by them in honor of Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States.
Seedling protection tubes are used in this scene depicting a method of protecting the young Douglas Fir trees from browsing deer, elk, rabbits and other wildlife. The green diamond protection tubes are available in various diameters and lengths, but probably the most commonly used is 4" by 24."
Generation upon generation of trees, animals and people have depended on the rich soils of the Cascade Mountain Range for their livelihood. Douglas fir, West Coast Hemlock, Western Red Cedar and other species thrive in the moist climate of the region. Douglas Fir ranks first in the United States in total volume of timber in lumber production and in production of veneer for plywood. It is one of the tallest trees as well and a popular Christmas tree.
