  • Environmental Conditions Appendix II
    Environmental Conditions Environmental Conditions Appendix II The unique geology, hydrology and climates of the Deschutes River Subbasin create a diverse mix of habitat conditions for fish and wildlife. These populations are linked to the ecosystems in which they live and their health, individual characteristics and abundance reflect the diversity ― and quality ― of their environments. Fish populations, for instance, developed complex life histories through time that responded to the subbasin’s considerable variation in habitat conditions. Stream flows, water temperatures, substrate characteristics and other combined attributes affected anadromous fish distribution within the subbasin and timing of migration. Wildlife population abundance and distribution also developed in response to habitat conditions. Native grasslands once covered vast areas and supported species such as sage grouse, which once occurred exclusively in this habitat. Loss of grassland habitat greatly reduced such populations. Today subbasin habitat conditions continue to influence fish and wildlife production, distribution and survival. These habitats and their attributes ― as well as the aquatic and terrestrial populations they support ― are affected by both natural watershed processes and human activities that influence flow, water quality, upland and riparian conditions and instream habitat. This chapter examines how environmental conditions in the Deschutes watershed affect the subbasin’s fish and wildlife populations. Building on the more general review provided in the Overview, the discussion characterizes the environmental conditions within three watershed areas: the Lower Deschutes watershed (below RM 100), Crooked River watershed, and Upper Deschutes watershed (above RM 100). It characterizes the natural watershed environments, such as geology, climate and hydrology, and the focal fish species they support.

  • Metolius River LLID: 1212861445954
    ODFW AQUATIC INVENTORY PROJECT STREAM REPORT STREAM: Metolius River LLID: 1212861445954 BASIN: Deschutes River HUC NUMBER: 17070301 DATES: June 21 - July 14, 2011 SURVEY CREWS: Frank Drake / Mark McLaughlin REPORT PREPARED BY: Staci Stein USGS MAPS: Black Butte, Candle Creek, Prairie Spring Farm ECOREGION: Cascade Eastern North BASIN AREA: 795 km2 FIRST ORDER TRIBUTARIES: 50+ GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Metolius River habitat survey began at the confluence of Jefferson Creek and continued upstream 21,049 meters to end at the headwater springs surfacing from the hillside. Nine reaches were designated based on changes in channel morphology and contributions from major tributary junctions. The river channel was constrained by terraces and hillslopes. Land uses were mature trees (50-90cm dbh), large timber (30-50cm dbh), rural residential property, and second growth timber (15-30cm dbh). The crew floated the river with inflatable kayaks in the lower reaches (Reaches 1-4) where the river was too swift and deep for safe and accurate measurements by foot. The upper reaches (Reaches 5-9) of the river were surveyed by foot. Overall stream substrate was a combination of gravel (36%), sand (24%), cobble (18%), and silt and organic fines (11%). The stream habitat types were predominately riffles (50%), scour pools (28%), and rapids (14%). Large wood debris volume ranged from 1.5-17.8m3/100m. The trees observed most frequently in the riparian zones were conifers ranging from 3-50cm dbh (based on thirty-one riparian transects). REACH DESCRIPTIONS: Reach 1: (T12S-R09E-S02NE) Length 3029 meters. Reach 1 began at the confluence with Jefferson Creek and continued to Bridge 99.

  • Orienteering at Brighton Woods
    ORIENTEERING AT BRIGHTON WOODS • There are eight numbered posts (controls) for the orienteering course at Brighton Woods. Each has a number that corresponds to the number on the Brighton Woods Orienteering Map, but they may be found in any order. • It is easier to go directly from control to control when there is less ground cover: late fall, winter, and early spring. Long pants are recommended because of the poison ivy and ticks. 1. NUMBERED CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS 1. Sports Field 2. Southwest End of Pipeline Clearing 3. Amphitheater 4. The Bridge 5. Head of Trail 6. Rock Outcropping 7. River 8. Northeast End of Pipeline Clearing 2. PLOTTING THE COURSE • Find control #1 on the map.(The Sports Field.) • On the map, line up one edge of the compass from where you are (Control #1: Sports Field) to where you want to go, (Control # 2: Southwest End of Pipeline Clearing) making sure the direction-of-travel arrow faces your destination point. (This is the first secret of orienteering.) • Rotate the housing of the compassso that the gridlines are parallel to the North - South gridlines on the orienteering map. The cardinal point N must be at the North side of your map. (This is the second secret to orienteering.) • Readyour bearing in degrees at the Bearing Index. (At the Direction-of- Travel line, or the "Read Bearing Here" mark.) The number of degrees is * • Do not rotate the housing again until you need a new bearing! 3. FINDING THE FIXED CONTROLS • Stand directly in front of the control #1 and hold your compass level and squarely in front of your body.

  • Orienteering at Farrel-Mcwhirter Park
    Orienteering at Farrel-McWhirter Park Orienteering involves the mind and the body. With the aid of a map and compass, you find your way on foot across the countryside from control to control. Your imagination and skills choose the best route. The course has painted red and white controls on 4x4 wooden posts set in the ground. You visit each control in sequence and copy the letter from the marker on a piece of paper. This verifies your completion of the course. An orienteering map is a very detailed map. A compass is necessary to orient the map to magnetic north before starting a course and at any time during the course necessary to insure your location. The blue lines drawn vertically across the map indicate magnetic north. Orienteering courses are usually set in a pleasant forest environment and you set your own pace. You can treat orienteering as a highly competitive race of navigational skill and physical speed or as a hike through the woods with the added fun of finding the red and white controls. Orienteering is usually an individual effort, but it is common to see groups or families hiking around an orienteering course together. Fitness and experiencing the outdoors come naturally with this sport. Use the map and the chart to the left to find the 28 controls located in the park. You Start and Finish at the Triangle /Double Circle. There are four courses of different lengths. You should go to the numbers in order. Or you can design your own course. Course lengths are direct from control to control.
