Darin Stringer
Senior Project Manager, Owner
Mr. Stringer is IRM's senior project manager and specializes in the design and implementation of restoration forestry. His work focuses on developing innovative forest restoration systems using a strong interdisciplinary background that combines forestry, wildlife, and restoration ecology. His project background includes development of silvicultural prescriptions for multi-cohort and extended rotation systems on both public and non-industrial ownerships throughout the Pacific Northwest. He brings expertise in the design of non-traditional silvicultural approaches, forest modeling (including stand growth & yield, at-risk wildlife habitat suitability, and fuel and fire behavior effects), monitoring and inventory systems, noxious weed control, native plant community establishment, and low impact thinning technology. Mr. Stringer's understanding of forest ecology and silviculture ranges from coastal and montane temperate forests to the drier vegetation types of the intermountain west. He has emerged as one of the leading restoration practitioners working to develop methods for recovering ponderosa pine, Oregon white oak, and aspen habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Beyond these declining habitats, Mr. Stringer has worked extensively in designing management systems for Douglas-fir forests that provide economic returns while restoring ecological structure and function. Darin works closely with private landowners, watershed councils, and local and federal government agencies to design and complete forestry stewardship and restoration projects. He holds a Master's of Science degree from Oregon State University in Silviculture and Forest Ecology.
