Dead and dying Douglas fir trees are being removed from the Ashland watershed with a helicopter. Earlier this year, Ashland City Council approved a $1.4 million project aimed at reducing wildfire fuels in city-owned forestland.
The City of Ashland is in the process of transitioning the emergency homeless shelter to a sever weather shelter and needs applicants for a new committee.
The 30-bed Ashland Emergency Shelter operated by OHRA closed on March 31 however, the severe weather shelter will continue to operate as the city is able.
