Conflict Deterrence Plan Rogue Pack 5/17/2021 Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Area-Specific Wolf Conflict Deterrence Plan Rogue Pack 5/17/2021 General Situation OR7 dispersed from the Imnaha Pack in northeast Oregon in September 2011 and he became resident in eastern Jackson and western Klamath Counties in 2013. He found a mate the next year and they established the Rogue Pack in 2014. The Rogue Pack wolves have been intensively monitored with remote cameras and radio-collars from 2013 - 2021. Between 2014 and 2019, the year-end counts reflected a total of four to seven wolves in the pack. The pack counted as a successful breeding pair in 2014, 2017 and 2018, meaning at least two pups and two adults survived to the end of the year. After the disappearance of OR7 in late 2019, an uncollared gray male assumed the breeding male position. During the summer of 2020, the pack spent more time on the Klamath County side of their territory than past years. The breeding female, OR94, was radio-collared in September 2020. At the end of 2020, only three wolves remained in the pack territory. During the winter and spring of 2021, OR94 mostly traveled alone, while the other two traveled as a pair. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) confirmed four incidents of cattle depredation by Rogue Pack wolves in October 2016 in Klamath County. These events triggered the designation of an Area of Depredating Wolves (ADW) and the preparation of an Area-Specific Wolf Conflict Deterrence Plan (Deterrence Plan) to assist producers and landowners manage potential conflict with wolves. The ADW is intended to inform livestock owners where wolf-livestock conflicts are most likely to occur. The ADW and Deterrence Plan were designated for only a portion of the Wood River Valley area where the wolves traveled and the depredations had occurred. The first incident of depredation by the Rogue Pack in Jackson County was confirmed by ODFW on January 4, 2018, followed closely by two subsequent depredations on the same ranch. Those confirmed depredations triggered a modification in the Rogue Pack ADW and the preparation of a revised Deterrence Plan. The ADW was modified to include all lands and livestock within the Rogue Pack Area of Known Wolf Activity (AKWA) (dated 1/22/2018) since there was depredation east and west of the Cascades, with acknowledgement that there is little risk of conflict between wolves and livestock in the wilderness areas of the Cascade Crest. Since 2016, ODFW has confirmed that members of the Rogue Pack have been responsible for 40 confirmed depredation events resulting in the death or injury of 38 cattle and two working dogs at multiple ranches in Jackson and Klamath Counties. During 2020, the Rogue Pack was responsible for 16 confirmed depredations on five ranches. The AKWA and ADW were expanded to the southwest to include telemetry locations from OR94 on 4/7/2021 and 5/17/2021. OR94 has continued to visit historical Rogue Pack core areas in Jackson and Klamath Counties, so at this time 1 she is still considered a member of the group. The AKWA and ADW may be modified again based on depredation and pack movements. Wolves in this area were removed from the Federal Endangered Species List on January 4, 2021. Before that all management related to harassment and take of wolves was regulated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), not ODFW. Currently, all management is implemented according to the Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan (Oregon Wolf Plan) and associated Oregon statute and rule. If wolves are relisted as federally endangered, a notice will be posted on the ODFW website and the USFWS will take over decisions about take and harassment, but the Deterrence Plan will not need to be updated. The pack’s current depredation information, AKWA and ADW maps, and Deterrence Plan will be updated as necessary and posted on the ODFW website at http://www.odfw.com/wolves/. Area Description Habitat and Landscape Conditions: In the western part of the ADW, the landscape consists of small to large acreage residences and irrigated pastures surrounded by Douglas-fir, true fir and ponderosa pine forests with dispersed natural meadows and various age stands of timber reproduction. Lower elevation areas include stands of Oregon white oak, as well as patches of chaparral dominated by wedgeleaf ceanothus or manzanita. The interior of the ADW occurs on the Rogue-Siskiyou and Fremont-Winema National Forests, and also includes the Sky Lakes Wilderness and a portion of Crater Lake National Park. This habitat is diverse, ranging from dense hardwood dominated riparian habitat, to open meadows, but is dominated by coniferous forests typical of the Cascades. In the eastern portion of the ADW, the landscape consists of medium to large acreage ranches with irrigated low-elevation meadow pastures in the Wood River Valley surrounded by mixed conifer forests. Land Uses and Ownership: In the western part of the ADW, rural residential housing, forest resource management and livestock grazing (mostly cattle), are the primary land uses within the area. Primary landownership is a mix of small to large acreage residences, cattle ranches, large private industrial timberland, and large blocks of the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest and Bureau of Land Management. Summer and fall season livestock allotments occur on the public land while private lands utilize spring through late fall grazing. Most cattle are shipped out during the winter period, although several operations maintain livestock in medium-sized pastures throughout the year. In the eastern portion of the ADW, cattle grazing is the predominant land use. Landownership is primarily large acreage cattle ranches in the Wood River Valley adjacent to Fremont-Winema National Forest to the west and Sun Pass State Forest to the north. Cattle grazing occurs spring through fall. Almost all cattle are shipped out of the Wood River Valley during winter months. Coordination Beginning in 2011, information regarding wolves in Jackson and Klamath County has been communicated to county leaders including the Klamath and Jackson County Commissioner’s Office, Fremont-Winema National Forest, Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest, Bureau of Land Management, APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS), Oregon State University Extension Office, Klamath County Wolf Depredation Committee, and Jackson County Wolf Advisory Committee providing a current description of known local wolf activity. 2 In addition, because this area was within the federally listed portion of Oregon, ODFW coordinated regularly with USFWS. ODFW, USFWS and WS have coordinated with livestock owners in the area informing them about the importance of bone pile removal, and appropriate non-lethal measures to minimize wolf-livestock conflict. ODFW has communicated regarding the Oregon Wolf Plan, wolf current events, depredation investigation procedures and reporting wolf activity. ODFW has developed a website to provide informational resources to potentially affected livestock producers and relevant interests within this and other ADWs. The website also shows maps of AKWAs, ADWs, conflict deterrence plans, and depredation investigations. Individuals can also sign up to receive email update messages when new general information is available, or to receive specific information regarding the issue of wolf/livestock conflict. ODFW and partners have held two workshops in Jackson and Klamath Counties to help affected producers learn conflict deterrence techniques from producers from eastern Oregon and the Yellowstone area who have successfully used non-lethal methods to reduce conflict with wolves. The Wood River Valley Rogue Pack Deterrence Plan was previously shared with the potentially affected landowners, livestock producers, and interested parties in Klamath County in October, 2016. The updated Rogue Pack Deterrence Plan(1/25/2018) was shared with potentially affected livestock producers in Jackson County, Jackson County Wolf Advisory Committee, Klamath County Wolf Depredation Committee, Klamath County Commissioners, Jackson County Commissioners, Jackson County Stockman’s Association, Klamath Cattlemen’s Association, Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, Oregon Sheep Growers Association, Oregon Farm Bureau, Oregon Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service, APHIS-Wildlife Services, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Oregon State Police, The Klamath Tribes, Oregon Wild, Cascadia Wildlands, Klamath Siskiyou Wildlands Center and Defenders of Wildlife prior to being finalized and posted. Comments were incorporated into this document. A Deterrence Plan for OR25, covering much of the same area, was previously shared with many of the same individuals and groups in March, 2017. This modified Deterrence Plan was updated to include additional areas covered by an expanded ADW and adaptive non-lethal options for livestock producers. It is shared with livestock producers in and near the areas added to the ADW to inform them of risk to their livestock and how to reduce the risk of wolf-livestock conflict. Appropriate Non-Lethal Measures (by general livestock operation type) The following is a list of appropriate non-lethal measures organized by which measures are likely to be most effective in a given circumstance including the nature of livestock operations, habitat, landscape conditions specific to the area, and particular times of year of livestock production. This Deterrence Plan is based on information compiled by ODFW before and during the planning effort on potentially successful conflict deterrence

Box 7, Crater Lake, Oregon 97604 Park Description Crater Lake National Park—established in 1902—is in southwest Oregon in the south-central portion of the Cascade Range. The park ranges in elevation from about 3,800 feet to just over 8,900 feet at Mount Scott. Near the center of the park is one of its most spectacular features, Crater Lake. At 1,943 feet deep, it is the deepest lake in the United States. The lake is in a caldera, which was formed when the top of 12,000-foot Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed about 7,700 years ago. Over the centuries, the caldera has collected water from rain and snow to form the lake. The lake is about 5 miles in diameter and is surrounded by the jagged, steep-walled cliffs of the caldera left by the climatic eruption. The cliffs surrounding the lake rise from 500 to 2,000 feet above the lake’s surface. From the rimmed summit, the land slopes gradually downward in all directions. There are no inlets or outlets to the lake, and evaporation and seepage prevent the lake from becoming deeper. Crater Lake has no influent or effluent streams to provide continuing supplies of oxygen, nutrients, and fresh water and is considered a youthful lake with a high level of purity.

The tract will be added to the newly created Gilchrist State Forest and will be managed for sustainable forestry and public recreation, generating significant revenue for Klamath County. The highest priority acquisition for Governor Kitzhaber, it represents a unique and affordable ($341/acre) investment in Oregon's future. Protection would eliminate 40 miles of inholding border for the 2 million acres of adjoining public lands. It will strengthen critical wildlife corridors, protect a large aquifer recharge area for the federally-designated Wild and Scenic View of project from Buell Butte (Photo by Doug Decker (Oregon Deschutes River, and restore a mature Ponderosa State Forester)) pine forest, one of the highest priority habitats in Oregon's Conservation Strategy. Because of its prime location--close to Bend and abundant outdoor recreation--and permissive zoning (with destination resort overlay), this parcel is seriously threatened by parcelization and conversion.

  • USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 2013. Summary of Bull Trout Conservation Successes and Actions Since 1999
    USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 2013. Summary of Bull Trout Conservation Successes and Actions since 1999. Since the listing of bull trout, numerous conservation measures have been and continue to be implemented across its coterminous range. These measures are being undertaken by a wide variety of local and regional partnerships, including State fish and game agencies, State and Federal land management and water resource agencies, Tribal governments, power companies, watershed working groups, water users, ranchers, and landowners. In many cases these bull trout conservation measures incorporate or are closely interrelated with work being done for recovery of salmon and steelhead, which are limited by many of the same threats. Coastal Recovery Unit: In 2011, we published a final rule in the Federal Register to establish a nonessential experimental population of bull trout in the Clackamas River and its tributaries in Clackamas County, Oregon, under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Bull trout were extirpated from the Clackamas River basin in the early 1960s, and re-establishing bull trout in the Clackamas River basin will help achieve recovery goals within the Coastal Recovery Unit. Adult and juvenile bull trout were translocated from the Metolius River to the Clackamas River in 2011 and 2012, and the first spawning activity was observed in the fall of 2011. Additional translocations are planned to continue for several years. The Service and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife are conducting this project in coordination with Mt. Hood National Forest, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Portland General Electric, NOAA Fisheries, and the U.S.
