On Tuesday, November 10, our lunch program will be a review of the 2026 fire season by Rebecca Franklin, Associate Professor Forest Technology at COCC.
Rebecca is the program director for Forest Resources Technology. She teaches courses such as Dendrology, Natural Resource Conservation, and Forestry. During her career, Rebecca has conducted research, field work, or agency work in seven western states and is currently interested in geobotany and endemic trees and plants of Oregon. She received her bachelor’s degree in forestry from Humboldt State University and her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona.
Rebecca is committed to creating connections between students and local agency and private industry professionals in outdoor laboratory settings. She has been the faculty advisor for the student chapter of the Society of American Foresters in Central Oregon and promotes student involvement in the local chapter as well as facilitates students attending state and national meetings.
