  • Wildlife-Habitat Relationships of the Grande Ronde River
    Wildlife-Habitat Relationships of the Grande Ronde River by Aryn E. Hayden ABSTRACT In selecting habitat animal species require food, water and adequate cover. When these criteria are taken into account it appears that habitats utilized by terrestrial wildlife along the Grande Ronde River change longitudinally from mixed conifer forests to ponderosa pine forests in the headwaters and middle reaches to grassland and shrub-steppe in the lower reaches. Species diversity of mammals, birds and reptiles within these habitats will also decrease towards the lower reaches to some degree as habitat changes along the Grande Ronde River. A potential decrease in species diversity as habitat changes may indicate that habitat specialist species are more likely to be found in the headwaters of and middle reaches while habitat generalists are likely to be found in the middle and lower reaches of the Grande Ronde River. This concept of decreasing species diversity in a downstream gradient indicates that the River Continuum Concept, traditionally an aquatic hypothesis, may have some applicability to distributions of terrestrial wildlife in the context of riverine ecosystems. Species diversity of terrestrial wildlife is also heavily influenced by the presence of riparian vegetation along the river. Riparian vegetation is likely to be found within the headwaters and middle reaches of the Grande Ronde River and in patches pertaining to locations of physical complexity along the river such as confluences with tributaries. Riparian vegetation provides complex habitat for mammals and birds that live along the river and those that utilize riparian habitat for foraging, water requirements, migration or other activities necessary for survival.

  • Proceedings of a Conference on Native Plant Restoration and Management on Public Lands in the Pacific Northwest
    Proceedings of a Conference on Native Plant Restoration and Management on Public Lands in the Pacific Northwest: Rare Plants, Invasive Species and Ecosystem Management LaSells Stewart Center, Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon Feb. 11-13, 2003 Edited and compiled by Thomas N. Kaye, Melanie Gisler, and Rob Fiegener A symposium co-sponsored by: USDI Bureau of Land Management, Institute for Applied Ecology, USDA Forest Service, Native Plant Society of Oregon Proceedings of a Conference on Native Plant Restoration and Management on Public Lands in the Pacific Northwest: Rare Plants, Invasive Species, and Ecosystem Management , Corvallis, Oregon, Feb. 11-13, 2003 Preface: Native plant conservation is a multi-disciplinary field and its success requires an integrated approach. Plant restoration and management on public lands in the Pacific Northwest face many challenges but also present opportunities for cooperative projects, research, on-the- ground action, and community outreach. On February 11-13, 2003, 300 people joined together for a symposium on native plant management in the Pacific Northwest to share information and discuss experiences. Topics covered rare and endangered species conservation and reintroduction, invasive plants, species and habitat restoration, ecosystems, and policy. The meeting featured talks by experts in these fields, and the audience included biologists, land managers, non-profit organizations, and the general public. Michael Way, a member of the International Team for the Millennium Seed Bank Project from the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, was our keynote speaker. Mr. Way is the International Coordinator for the Americas and is responsible for the development of seed conservation projects with partners in Mexico, Chile, and the USA.

  • 1 the Workbook Integrates the Facility Portion of the Agency Budget Submission with the Capital Project Advisory Board Submission
    1 The workbook integrates the facility portion of the Agency Budget Submission with the Capital Project Advisory Board Submission. 2 The definitions for budget priorities are the same in both documents. 2a Note: Priority # 4 has changed from Recommended Improvements to Seismic and Natural Hazard Remediation. Add your remediation estimates by building, if your agency has conducted this analysis. For agencies participating in the Facility Conditions Assessment Program, this assessment will be provided. 2b Priority #5 has changed from New Code Requirements/Standards to Modernization. This category combines the former #4 Recommended Improvements, and the former #5, New Code priority categories. It expands the definition to include replacement of facilities. See definition in the budget instructions and those included in the relevant forms. 3 Begin the workbook with the last 3 CPAB tabs. This data feeds much of the reaming workbook. These will be reviewed by CPAB only. If your agency has migrated to iPlan, the blue columns will come directly from the iPlan CPAB reports. IF your agency has not migrated to iPlan, please self-report your information. 3a CPAB Current Priority 1-4 is for current needs as of April 2020 to align with the PICS reporting budget instructions. 3b CPAB 10 Year Priority 1-4 gives your agency the opportunity to give the 10 year projected needs for your building portfolio. 3c CPAB Priority 5 are not generally part of an FCA, rather they are needs that are driven by program and function. New buildings and major building refresh/renovations would generally be included in priority #5.

Left Top: Modern net-gun capture technology using a helicopter and custom made transport bags to insure safety for animal and animal handlers (Nancy Smogar, ODFW). Left Bottom: A young California bighorn ram in the acclimation pen at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge prior to release in 1961 (Vic Masson). Suggested Citation: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. 2003. Oregon’s bighorn sheep and Rocky Mountain goat management plan. Salem, Oregon, USA. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Two bighorn sheep subspecies are native to Oregon: Rocky Mountain and California bighorn sheep. Expansion of American civilization without wildlife protection or management, and domestic livestock diseases led to their extirpation from Oregon by the mid 1940's. Present populations are the result of reintroductions and occupy only a small percentage of historic ranges. Oregon now supports 12 Rocky Mountain bighorn herds with a population estimate of 637 animals, and 32 California bighorn herds with 3,700 animals. Land use changes have rendered much of the original wild sheep ranges unsuitable for occupancy, but there is still considerable suitable habitat into which bighorns have been, or can be re-established. The mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) is perhaps the least recognized and least known of Oregon’s big game species. The goat’s obscurity is likely a result of the steep and rugged nature of its habitat.
