Shield Project Information

In late August 2018, the Deschutes National Forest began  the “Shield” forest management project in the Newberry Caldera to remove trees that are exhibiting signs of future failure from insect infestation and disease.

In order to allow operators to safely remove marked trees in the Caldera section of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, some campgrounds will begin closing early for the season. Tree removal work will continue through the fall at various campgrounds and roadways within Newberry Caldera.
