  • Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy Invited Expert Responses
    Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy Invited Expert Responses Prepared for The Salmon Anchor Habitat Work Group/ Salmon Anchor Habitat Conference Tillamook, Oregon June 24-25, 2004 Institute for Natural Resources and Oregon Department of Forestry Introduction (Abstract) This document compiles written responses by experts in their respective fields to questions from the Salmon Anchor Habitat Work Group about the Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy component of Oregon Department of Forestry Northwestern Oregon State Forest Management Plan. The Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy and Work Group The 2003 Oregon Legislature directed the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) to convene a citizen work group to examine the Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy. Introduced by ODF in the 2001 Northwestern Oregon State Forest Management Plan and described more specifically in the 2003 Implementation Plan, the Salmon Anchor Habitat (SAH) Strategy was designed to provide additional protection for 10 years to a series of drainages with intact salmon populations and habitat as active, structure-based forest management strategies are implemented across the Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests. The 6-person Salmon Anchor Habitat Work Group consisted of representatives from Clatsop County, Tillamook County, Oregon Trout, Wild Salmon Center, the Council of Forest Trust Land Counties and the Oregon Forest Industries Council. The Institute for Natural Resources (INR) organized and moderated a series of meetings where SAH Work Group members identified issues and questions about the SAH Strategy and the effects of implementing it. Staff from ODF and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) explained agency policies and how they were developed. Salmon Anchor Habitat Work Group Invited Experts The SAH Work Group members defined a set of key issues and questions they wanted addressed so they could make recommendations about the SAH Strategy.

The ten-year goal is conservation and restoration of over 1,000 acres of Sitka spruce swamp, estuarine marsh and freshwater riparian habitats and 4000 acres of upland forest in the watershed through actions targeted in this plan. Since 1994, the Youngs Bay watershed has been identified as an important conservation area in the Lower Columbia River in a variety of biodiversity, wetland, wildlife and salmon conservation plans. The Wetlands Conservancy, The Nature Conservancy, Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center, North Coast Land Conservancy, Columbia Land Trust, Ecotrust, Pacific Coast Joint Venture and National Park Service have been actively working to overlay their plans and develop mutual strategies and partnerships for conservation in the region.

  • Economic Analysis of Outdoor Recreation in Oregon Executive Summary
    ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF OUTDOOR RECREATION IN OREGON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Across all of Oregon, there are thousands of recreation sites and opportunities where one can hike, HOW THIS COMPARES TO OTHER ANALYSES camp, bike, picnic, hunt, kite surf, and more; and every year, billions of dollars are spent by folks enjoying Oregon’s outdoors. Recognizing that outdoor recreation is a major contributor to the state’s economy, This analysis is consistent with findings from other research conducted on Oregon’s outdoor recreation economy. In Travel Oregon, the Oregon Office of Outdoor Recreation (OREC), and Oregon Department of Fish and 2017, the Outdoor Industry Association estimated that $16.4 billion was spent on outdoor recreation trips and gear Wildlife (ODFW) came together to commission a study on the impacts of the outdoor recreation economy. purchases in Oregon, an estimate slightly higher than the one presented here. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that spending on outdoor recreation in Oregon in 2019 contributed $7.2 billion to Oregon’s GDP and The study found that in 2019, outdoor recreation in Oregon supported $15.6 billion in spending. supported 88,000 jobs. While these estimates vary from the findings of this analysis, it is important to understand Consumer spending on outdoor recreation supports businesses and jobs throughout the state, and then that the BEA analysis does not consider local recreation in their analysis, making the results more comparable to the ripples throughout Oregon’s economy as business income and wages are re-spent, causing economic visitor expenditure estimate presented earlier. effects in sectors not directly tied to outdoor recreation.

  • OCS Chapter 4. Conservation Opportunity Areas  Overview  Conservation Opportunity Area Boundaries  Conservation Opportunity Area Profiles  Methodology
    OCS Chapter 4. Conservation Opportunity Areas Overview Conservation Opportunity Area Boundaries Conservation Opportunity Area Profiles Methodology Overview Landowners and land managers throughout Oregon can contribute to conserving fish and wildlife by maintaining, restoring, and improving habitats. These conservation actions benefit Strategy Species and Strategy Habitats, and are important regardless of location. However, focusing investments in prioritized areas, or Conservation Opportunity Areas (COAs), can increase the likelihood of long-term success, maximize effectiveness over larger landscapes, improve funding efficiency, and promote cooperative efforts across ownership boundaries. COAs were developed to guide voluntary actions. Land use or other activities within these areas will not be subject to any new regulations. The ODFW COA map, dataset, and underlying profile information should only be used in ways consistent with these intentions. COAs are delineated landscapes where broad fish and wildlife conservation goals would best be met, and have been designated for all ecoregions within the Conservation Strategy, except the Nearshore ecoregion. COAs were delineated through a complex spatial modeling analysis and expert review. Each COA is provided as a map in the Strategy and has an associated COA profile, which includes detailed information about the area’s Conservation Strategy priorities, recommended actions, and ongoing conservation efforts. Voluntary conservation actions consistent with local priorities will be carried out within COAs by a variety of partners (e.g., landowners, land managers, agencies, watershed councils, local land trusts, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, etc.), and will encompass all types of land ownership and management approaches. COAs were first developed for the 2006 Conservation Strategy through a spatial analysis that incorporated spatial vegetation models, predictive models of wildlife habitat, roads and development layers, and freshwater stream datasets [2006 Oregon Conservation Strategy: Appendix IV.
