Long Funding and Logistical Support: Dale Pedersen James Short Marsha O’Dell National Park Service Norcross Wildlife Foundation Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Seattle Foundation The Wolverine Foundation, Inc.

We also thank Tim Hiller, Mark Penninger, and Glenn McDonald for their assistance in the field work. This document should be cited as: Magoun, A. J., P. Valkenburg, C. D. Long, and J. K. Long. 2011. Monitoring wolverines in northeast Oregon – 2011. Final Report. The Wolverine Foundation, Inc., Kuna, Idaho, USA. 2 INTRODUCTION The Oregon Conservation Strategy lists “species data gaps” and “research and monitoring needs” for some species where basic information on occurrence and habitat associations are not known (ODFW 2006; pages 367-368). For the Blue Mountains, East Cascades, and West Cascades Ecoregions of Oregon, the Strategy lists wolverine as a species for which status is unknown but habitat may be suitable to support wolverines. ODFW lists the wolverine as Threatened in Oregon and the USFWS has recently placed the species on the candidate list under the federal Endangered Species Act. Wolverine range in the contiguous United States had contracted substantially by the mid-1900s, probably because of high levels of human-caused mortality and very low immigration rates (Aubry et al.

    United States Department of FREMONT - WINEMA Agriculture NATIONAL FORESTS Forest Service Fremont-Winema National Forests Monitoring and August 2010 Evaluation Report Fiscal Year 2008 KEY FINDINGS Ecological Restoration: In 2008, the Fremont-Winema National Forests embarked on a 10-year stewardship contract with the Collins Companies’ Fremont Sawmill. This project is aimed at improving environmental conditions in the Lakeview Federal Stewardship Unit, while also supplying material to the sawmill. Under the 10-year stewardship contract, task orders are offered each year to provide forest products in conjunction with restoration service work to reduce fuels and improve watershed conditions. Over the 10 year stewardship contract’s life, at least 3,000 acres per year are projected to be thinned to improve forest health and reduce fuels. The contract is projected to offer at least 10 million board feet of forest products to Fremont Sawmill annually, as well as material for biomass energy. Also on the Forest, two Community Fuels Reduction Projects were completed. The Chiloquin Community Fuels Reduction Project was a 7-year project that reduced hazardous fuels on 1,400 acres within the wild land- urban interface (WUI) around the town of Chiloquin and was the first National Fire Plan project implemented on the Forest. This project was a cooperative effort with the Chiloquin-Agency Lake Rural Fire Protection District, the Klamath Tribes, and community residents. The second project was the Rocky Point Fuels Reduction Project. The Klamath Ranger District, with the assistance of local small business contractors and additional participation by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S.
