To address this concern\, the Watersheds\nResearch Cooperative (WRC)\, under the admi nistration of the College of Forestry at Oregon State University\, is condu cting research on the impacts of contemporary forest practices on aquatic\n ecosystems. This research is carried out in three paired watershed studies in western Oregon: Hinkle Creek\, the Alsea Study\, and the Trask Watershed . The purpose of this conference is to report on\nthe state-of-the-science of the environmental effectiveness of contemporary forest practices. The co nference will feature reports on preliminary results\, current status\, and future directions for the\nthree WRC paired watershed studies. Also\, resu lts will be presented from similar research from throughout the Pacific Nor thwest.
