    Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District - Tualatin SWCD (TSWCD), 7175 NE Evergreen Pkwy Ste 400, Hillsboro, OR 97124, USA

    Marian Jamieson-Stalker will give a talk on geospatial resources, where to find them and how they might be helpful to landowners. From aerial imagery to smoke and wildfire maps, to mapping apps on your phone.... There is a lot of information out there. She’ll share a list of geospatial tools and data sources that may be helpful to small forest land owners. The format will be an informal discussion - please bring questions and information about resources you've found helpful!

    Marian grew up among the trees in rural Washington County. She later earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master's degree focused on land surveying, both at Oregon State University. Since then, she has gained a variety of work experience in civil engineering and land surveying. Currently she lives in Beaverton and works as a support engineer for Leica Geosystems, a survey equipment manufacturer.

    You may recognize her as Mike Jamieson’s daughter as well.

  • WCSWA Monthly Meeting - Forest Roads

    February 25, 2025  7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
    Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District - Tualatin SWCD (TSWCD), 7175 NE Evergreen Pkwy Ste 400, Hillsboro, OR 97124, USA

    Speaker: Corrine Walters, Pre-sales Forester Miami Corporation

    Join us for a well-graded presentation about forest roads – how to maintain them, how to build them, and how to inventory them.

    Corinne Walters-Finster is a forester and forest educator for Starker Forests, a small, family-owned timber company based out of Corvallis, Oregon. She spends half of her workdays designing new roads and culverts and maintaining the current road systems. The other half of her time is spent leading student field trips and engaging in community events, all focused on forestry in Oregon. Corinne grew up in a family that cherished time spent outdoors and the natural resources that Oregon has to offer, and although she started college with civil engineering in mind, she ended up back at her roots earning a degree in forest engineering at Oregon State University.
