A Baker City forestry consultant who helped landowners deal with the aftermath of the 2015 Cornet/Windy Ridge fire, the largest blaze in Baker County history, is featured in a new video produced by the Oregon Department of Forestry.
Lane Parry, who won an award in 2017 for his work with private landowners after the 104,000-acre fire, appears in the 7-minute video along with Jana Peterson, stewardship forester at the Forestry Department’s Baker City office.
