Caspar Creek Experimental Watersheds celebrates 60 years with research tour

CASPAR, CA, 11/15/22 — The United States Forest Service and Jackson Demonstration State Forest commemorated 60 years of forest management research at the Caspar Creek Experimental Watersheds’ outdoor laboratory by opening the area around the creek’s North Fork and South Fork to the public for tours and exploration on Saturday. Visitors traveled from Caspar Scales along a timeline of eventful years and projects in the area before arriving at stations manned by scientists and researchers, with whom they could speak about the findings and policy developed from work at Caspar Creek.

Plus, 60 cupcakes were on offer for those passing through, each marked with a different year of experimentation in Caspar.
