  • Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment
    Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment Little Butte Creek Watershed Council August 2003 Abstract The Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment has been prepared for the Little Butte Creek Watershed Council with funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB). The Assessment was prepared using the guidelines set forth in the Governor’s Watershed Enhancement Board’s 1999 Oregon Watershed Assessment Manual. The purpose of this document is to assess the current conditions and trends of human caused and ecologic processes within the Little Butte Creek Watershed and compare them with historic conditions. Many important ecological processes within the watershed have been degraded over the last 150 years of human activity. This Assessment details those locations and processes that are in need of restoration as well as those that are operating as a healthy system. The Assessment was conducted primarily at the 5th field watershed level, that of the entire Little Butte Creek Watershed. List and describe field watershed levels below. Where possible, the analyses was refined to the smaller 6th field watershed level, thirteen of which exist within the Little Butte Creek Watershed. The assessment also notes gaps in data and lists recommendations for future research and data collection. It is intended that this document, and the Little Butte Creek Watershed Action Plan be used as guides for future research and watershed protection and enhancement over the next decade. The document was developed using existing data. No new data was collected for this project. Where data was lacking, it was detailed for future work and study. Acknowledgements This assessment was compiled and written by Steve Mason.

  • Evaluation of Spring Chinook Salmon Spawning in Big Butte Creek, 2009
    ROGUE RIVER SPRING CHINOOK SALMON CONSERVATION PLAN Evaluation of spring Chinook salmon spawning in Big Butte Creek, 2008 Rogue Watershed District Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife March 2009 Introduction A conservation plan for Rogue River spring chinook salmon, developed in cooperation with a public advisory committee, was approved by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission in 2007. The conservation plan lists several management strategies to bring numbers of naturally produced spring chinook back up to a desired status level that is sustainable and will support economically important fisheries. Management strategy 9.2 calls for enhancement of spring chinook (CHS) in Big Butte Creek through an increase in the amount of available spawning habitat. A small falls on lower Big Butte Creek (Crowfoot Falls, rivermile 0.6) is considered a partial barrier, limiting the upstream passage of adults, and thus limiting natural production in upstream areas. Two allied action items (Action 2.1 and 2.2) relate to this issue. Upstream passage at Crowfoot Falls might be enhanced if additional ambient flow of cool, spring-fed water can be realized during the upstream migration of adult CHS in Big Butte Creek. Determination of the amount of flow needed to enhance upstream migration would be valuable because flows during the critical migration period are significantly affected by water withdrawal from the creek. As part of conservation plan implementation, ODFW conducted enhanced surveys in 2008 on Big Butte Creek to verify current conditions and explore enhancement opportunities. To facilitate the work, ODFW Restoration and Enhancement Program (R&E) grant funding was utilized to hire two seasonal employees to complete the enhanced surveys.

  • Global Forest Watch Report
    Global Forest Watch Report Deforestation, Oregon Style1 By John Talberth2 and Erik Fernandez3 September 2015 Key points • As the catastrophic impacts of climate change accelerate, reversing the loss and degradation of forest ecosystems has become an urgent global priority. • While most decision makers focus on the loss and degradation of forests in developing countries, deforestation in the US is alive and well. What is happening on state and privately managed forestlands in Oregon exemplifies the situation in many other states. • There are four key drivers of deforestation on these lands in Oregon: (1) overcutting (cutting at a rate in excess of forest regrowth); (2) conversion of natural forests to industrial tree plantations; (3) loss of forestlands to roads and other infrastructure, and (4) loss of long-term site productivity. • As compared with the year 2000, Oregon has nearly 522,000 acres less forest cover on its state and privately managed forestlands in western Oregon today. This has primarily been the result of rapid clearcutting at rates that far exceed regrowth. Forest loss to clearcutting has exceeded forest regrowth by 45% between 2000 and 2013. • Over 4 million acres of Oregon’s natural forests have been converted to industrial tree plantations. These plantations are as far from real forests as are industrial cornfields from native grasslands. • The logging road network on state and private forestlands in Oregon has taken another 110,000 to 150,000 acres out of production. • Landslides, erosion, and short rotations are depleting soils and soil productivity. Loss and degradation of soils through industrial forest practices is a slow, but irreversible process.
