  • A PLACE to CHERISH and STUDY BACK Mary Mcdonald
    THE MAGAZINE OF THE OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION WINTER OREGON 2016 STATER A PLACE TO CHERISH AND STUDY BACK LOOKING LOOKING Mary McDonald >> and the forest on the hill By Ann Kinkley | Photos by Hannah O’Leary Clipboard in hand, binoculars around her neck, OSU master’s candi- date Amy Barry ’09 moves beneath a canopy of older Douglas fir in the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest, the crown jewel of the College of Forestry’s living laboratories. She’s checking snags — old, dead trees — for small birds such as chickadees, studying how different species make use of the ragged, decaying trunks and branches as the forest matures. Generations of students and researchers have studied, and will continue to study, in the 11,250 acres just beyond the northern city limits of Corvallis, exploring everything from new logging techniques to how various recreation activities change as a forest changes. Told that the woman whose generosity allowed the college to buy the first major pieces of the “Mac-Dunn” had no strong connections to the college but, simply out of gratitude and generosity, wanted to make sure its students had a good place to do their research, Barry is amazed. “That’s absolutely incredible,” she says. “It’s crucial for the work we do to have a forest like this that’s not maintained primarily for tim- ber harvest, but for research. And to have it so close — I can leave my office in Peavy Hall and be here in 15 minutes!” 20 << OREGON STATER hy did Mary McDonald, a wealthy widow in California, give money to Oregon Agricultural College to Wpurchase 6,000 acres of forestland, plus a valuable rare book collection and the resources to create a room for them, as well as endowments for scholarships in several departments? The expertise of Oregon State forestry legend George Peavy had plenty to do with it.

  • Conflict Deterrence Plan Rogue Pack 5/17/2021
    Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Area-Specific Wolf Conflict Deterrence Plan Rogue Pack 5/17/2021 General Situation OR7 dispersed from the Imnaha Pack in northeast Oregon in September 2011 and he became resident in eastern Jackson and western Klamath Counties in 2013. He found a mate the next year and they established the Rogue Pack in 2014. The Rogue Pack wolves have been intensively monitored with remote cameras and radio-collars from 2013 - 2021. Between 2014 and 2019, the year-end counts reflected a total of four to seven wolves in the pack. The pack counted as a successful breeding pair in 2014, 2017 and 2018, meaning at least two pups and two adults survived to the end of the year. After the disappearance of OR7 in late 2019, an uncollared gray male assumed the breeding male position. During the summer of 2020, the pack spent more time on the Klamath County side of their territory than past years. The breeding female, OR94, was radio-collared in September 2020. At the end of 2020, only three wolves remained in the pack territory. During the winter and spring of 2021, OR94 mostly traveled alone, while the other two traveled as a pair. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) confirmed four incidents of cattle depredation by Rogue Pack wolves in October 2016 in Klamath County. These events triggered the designation of an Area of Depredating Wolves (ADW) and the preparation of an Area-Specific Wolf Conflict Deterrence Plan (Deterrence Plan) to assist producers and landowners manage potential conflict with wolves.
