Fiscal Year 2000 United States Department of Agriculture Monitoring and Forest Service Pacific Evaluation Report Northwest Region Willamette National Forest Fiscal Year 2000 Salt Creek Falls on the Middle Fork Ranger District April, 2001 Dear Reader, Enclosed you will find the Willamette National Forest” Fiscal Year 2000 Monitoring and Evaluation Report”. This represents the 10th year of implementing our Land and Resource Management Plan (L&RMP), and the 6th year of implementation as amended by the Northwest Forest Plan. Our ability to accomplish the monitoring anticipated by our L&RMP was again limited by declining budgets. However, we remain committed to aligning our priorities with those interests most important to you, the stakeholders in our stewardship of national forest resources. Fiscal year 2000 saw an unprecedented number of plans and initiatives that affirmed or established management direction on a regional or national scale. The USDA Forest Service Strategic Plan (2000 Revision) focuses on long-term results in arenas such as the health of the land, water quality and customer satisfaction. This plan represents an important shift in focus and set the context for a number of other changes, including new planning regulations, a new road management policy, the national fire management plan and the proposed conservation of existing roadless areas. It was an exciting year for discoveries on the Willamette. Through our Survey and Manage efforts, we discovered a lichen species, previously known only to occur in South America. And we documented the existence of four populations of a sensitive species of rockcress believed to live only in Hell’s Canyon. In FY99, in partnership with ODFW, we installed an electronic device for counting adult bull trout in Roaring River and Anderson Creek. Our monitoring in FY2000 showed 37 adults moving into Roaring River and 251 adults moving into Anderson Creek. Our bull trout recovery efforts are producing positive results. Unfortunately our chub recovery efforts are being sabotaged by the illegal introduction of largemouth bass. The East Ferrin population appears to have been extirpated by predation by this non-native fish species. These are but a few of the highlights from our FY2000 monitoring program. This report is also available on our website at www.fs.fed.us/r6/willamette. We appreciate your taking the time to review the results of our efforts. Your continued interest in the Forest Plan is just one way for you to stay current with activities on your public lands. Don’t hesitate to visit, call or write us about your interests in the Forest Plan. Sincerely, DARREL L.

FOREST PLAN AMENDMENTS & UPDATES 55 A list of all amendments and updates to the Forest Plan. LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS 61 Printed on recycled paper v INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Introduction and Background he Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) for the Willamette National Forest was approved by the Regional Forester on July 31, 1990. We T began implementing the Forest Plan on September 10, 1990. The Forest Plan is the basis for integrated management of all the Forest’s resources. It designates areas of resource management emphasis based on the capabilities of these areas and the differing levels of goods and services that are projected to come from them. The Forest Plan also specifies monitoring and evaluation requirements to provide information necessary to determine whether promises are being kept, and to assure assumptions made during analysis are valid. On April 13, 1994, the Secretaries of the Departments of Agriculture and Interior signed a Record of Decision for the Management of Habitat for Late-Successional and Old- Growth Forest Related Species, 6referred to as the Northwest Forest Plan or NWFP, that amended the Forest Plan by establishing new land allocations (management areas) and standards and guidelines (S&Gs). The implementation of these new management areas and S&Gs began May 20, 1994. Monitoring Strategy To meet the challenge of monitoring, the Forest developed a strategy designed to address questions asked in the monitoring section of the Forest Plan (Chapter V) and to assure compliance with the Standards and Guidelines established in the Northwest Forest Plan. The basic elements of that strategy were: 1. Identify the monitoring that is currently being done on the Forest 2. Supervisor’s Office Staff develop plans and programs to address the questions asked in the monitoring section of the Forest Plan (Chapter V). 3. Forest Supervisor and Staff review at least one project on each District. The focus of that review being to determine, “Did we do what we said we would do?” 4. The Forest participates in the province level monitoring an evaluation reviews in concert with BLM and the Regional Ecosystem Office. 5. Publish a report displaying the results of monitoring and an evaluation reviews. The REO office publishes a report of province monitoring. 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The measure used in the Forest Plan monitoring questions is the “Threshold of Variability” or TOV. The TOV is a threshold that when exceeded triggers further investigation to determine a proper course of action. For many questions the TOV has been exceeded due to the subsequent Northwest Forest Plan that materially altered many outputs predicted in the Forest Plan. A Forest Plan revision scheduled to begin around 2009 will alter predicted outputs to a level probable under the Northwest Forest Plan. Monitor and Evaluation Monitoring and evaluation provide the control system over management activities on the Forest. Monitoring and evaluation each have distinctly different purposes. Monitoring is gathering information and Evaluation is the analysis and interpretation of observing management activities. Forest Plan the information provided by monitoring. monitoring is organized into three levels: Evaluation is the feedback mechanism identifying whether there is a need to change how the Forest Implementation Monitoring is used to Plan is being implemented to comply with determine if the objectives, standards, existing direction, or whether there is a need to guidelines, and management practices change Forest Plan direction itself through specified in the Forest Plan are being amendments or revisions. implemented.

This report emphasizes the question, "Did we do Effectiveness Monitoring is used to determine what we said we were going to do?" as well as if the design and execution of the prescribed reporting the progress that is being made on management practices are effective in questions of effectiveness and validation.

  • Opal Creek U.S
    U.S. Forest Service Opal Creek U.S. Department of Agriculture OVERVIEW The Opal Creek Wilderness embodies the low-elevation old-growth forests that dominated the western cascades prior to European settlement. Within this wilder- ness, many trees are up to 450 years old; however, there are some individual trees that are up to 1,000 years old grow up to 10 feet in diameter. Wildlife species that are representative of the Pacific Northwest, such as the endangered northern spot- ted owl, depend on this wilderness and its old-growth forests. Further, the forested cathedrals of old-growth and myriad historical features provide recreational op- portunities for visitors to commune with wild nature and human history. Opal Creek Wilderness Character Narrative September 2018 OVERVIEW A wilderness character narrative is a positive and affirming description of (continued) what is unique and special about this wilderness. The wilderness’ human story – one that complicates simplistic wilderness narratives that equate all historical human activity with despoliation – conveys how the intricate relationship be- tween human and natural history can profoundly contribute to a wilderness’ character. The Opal Creek Wilderness – with its mines scattered across the landscape – not only preserves the remnants of the regions’ mining history, it tells a larger story about American conservation at the end of the twentieth century, one in which the “timber wars” pitted neighbor against neighbor not only in and around the Santiam River canyon, but also in the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C. It is the epitome of a storied wilderness. The Opal Creek Wilderness is adjacent to the Bull of the Woods Wilderness on its northeast- ern border and the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area (SRA) on its western border.
