Hypothesis Current evidence suggests patterns of late-15 th to mid-19 th century Indian burning practices had a direct effect on subsequent patterns of Oregon Coast Range catastrophic forest fires that occurred from 1849 to 1951. In particular, Indian fires may have influenced the cause, timing, severity, location, and boundaries of subsequent wildfires.

Comparison of Oregon Coast Range Indian Burning & Catastrophic Forest Fire Patterns
The Future
Proposal Spatial and temporal landscape patterns of Indian-type burning and land use should be reintroduced into the Oregon Coast Range (at least on an experimental basis) at a subbasin or greater scale.

Rationale 1) Protection of human communities, transportation systems, and other developments from wildfire and unmanaged smoke; 2) Stable and maintained habitats favorable to native plants and animals, including esthetic, game, and ESA-listed species; 3) Stable, efficient, and protected environment for the sustainable growth of timber, food, and grass crops; 4) New vegetation patterns and trained local work crews will result in more efficient and effective wildfire management strategies; 5) Implementation of this proposal would result in year-around work opportunities and improved economies in rural communities; Others: Respect for past cultures; new business opportunities; increased income to schools and roads; increased recreational and community event opportunities, esthetics.
