Centennial Valley Association April 2018 Centennial Valley Association Casey Smith– Centennial Outfitters April 2018 Project Updates Lower Red Rock Lake Lesser Scaup Project Lesser scaup are the most common diving duck in North America and have been below continental population objectives since the late 1980s. Lower Red Rock Lake within Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is home to one of the highest densities of breeding lesser scaup in North America, making it an ideal place to study factors that influence scaup population. A study was initiated in 2005 on Lower Lake to explore drivers of scaup female, nest, and duckling survival- important ‘vital rates’ that have a strong influence on population dynamics. The Lower Red Rock Lake Lesser Scaup Project will commence its 14th year in May 2018, led by two graduate students, Kyla Bas (University of Saskatchewan) and Kelsey Navarre (Colorado State University). Field work begins each year in May when Kyla and Kelsey conduct surveys to find uniquely-marked female scaup (Fig. 1). Uniquely marking and re-sighting females through time allows estimation of survival during breeding (May-September) and non-breeding (October-April) seasons. After May surveys are completed, they begin searching for and monitoring nests to determine nest survival, another important vital rate. Nests are revisited just before hatching to mark ducklings with a small tag in the web of one foot. Recapturing web-tagged ducklings during two week-long banding drives that culminate the field season allows estimation of duckling surviv- Fig. 1-Chris Vennum al. During these banding drives, researchers and volunteers corral flightless scaup (adults are molting, and ducklings haven’t grown their flight feathers yet), into a trap. Once secured, scaup are banded, measured, weighed, and a subset is nasal-marked. During the two weeks that separate the banding drives a second survey for nasal-marked females is conducted. Conducting a survey at the Kelsey Navarre beginning of the nesting season (May) and again at the end (August) is how seasonal estimates of female survival can be obtained. Any questions about the Lesser Scaup project can be directed to Kelsey Navarre at [email protected].

  • Continental Divide National Scenic Trail
    Continental Divide National Scenic Trail The Continental Divide Scenic Trail (CDNST) was established by congress under the National Trails System Act of 1968. The trail will extend 3,100 miles, in its entirety, from Canada to Mexico. This northern-most portion follows the backbone of the Rocky Mountains for 795 miles through Montana and Idaho. It passes through some of our nation's most spectacular scenery--Glacier National Park, ten national forests with wildernesses such as the Bob Marshall and Anaconda Pintler, several Bureau of Land Management Resource Areas, State lands and short segments of private lands. This segment begins at the U.S./Canada border between Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks, following a route near the divide and through the Blackfeet Indian Reservation to Marias Pass. Southward the trail passes through the Bob Marshall and Scapegoat Wildernesses, skirting the Chinese Wall. After crossing Rogers and MacDonald Passes, it continues through historic mining districts and ghost towns. West of Anaconda the trail traverses the length of the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness, reaching the Montana-Idaho border near Lost Trail Pass on the 1805 route of Lewis and Clark. Winding through the Bitterroot Range, the trail passes high above the Big Hole National Battlefield, scene of conflict between the Nez Perce Tribe and the U.S. Army in 1877, and on to Lemhi Pass, headwaters of the Missouri River and marked by the Sacajawea Memorial. Continuing on through the Bitterroots, it crosses Monida Pass and winds along the crest of the Centennial Mountains above Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Staying near the divide, the trail crosses Raynolds and Targhee Passes with views of Henry's Lake to the south and Hebgen Lake to the north, before continuing on to the end of this segment of the CDNST, at the western boundary of Yellowstone National Park.

These actions are termed mitigation and often protect life, property, the economy, and other values. The Beaverhead County Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) Plan addresses 13 major hazards with respect to risk and vulnerabilities countywide, including the City of Dillon and the Town of Lima. Through a collaborative planning process, the Beaverhead County hazards were identified, researched, profiled, updated, and prioritized. The major hazards (i.e., aircraft accident, disease and environmental contamination, drought, earthquake, flood, hazardous material release, severe weather, terrorism and civil unrest, transportation accident, urban fire, utility and energy failure, volcanic ash fall, and wildfire) are each profiled in terms of their hazard description, history, probability and magnitude, mapping, vulnerabilities, data limitations, and other factors. The vulnerabilities to critical facilities; critical infrastructure; structures; the population; economic, ecologic, historic, and social values; and future development are updated for each hazard. Based on the probability and extent of potential impacts that were identified in the risk assessment, the hazard prioritizations in Beaverhead County are displayed in Table ES-1.
