  • Colville and Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests Revised Forest Plans Frequently Asked Questions
    Colville and Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests Revised Forest Plans Frequently Asked Questions Plans and Planning Rule and Process Q. What is a Forest Plan? A. A forest plan, or land and resource management plan (LRMP), is a tool that provides a framework and broad guidance for making management decisions for a Forest unit, while providing technical boundaries for protecting the environment. They are strategic and programmatic, and identify desired conditions for national forest lands. Similar to county land- use zoning plans, they identify areas where various types of activities may occur, such as harvesting trees or certain types of recreational uses. Q. When were the existing Forest Plans approved? A. The Colville forest plan was completed in 1988, the Okanogan in 1989, and the Wenatchee in 1990. Q. Why revise current land management plans (LMPs)? A. Revision is required by law (NFMA, National Forest Management Act of 1976). The existing Forest Plans have reached their intended 15-year life. Both public comment and new science show some need for change to the existing Plans. Much has changed since the existing set of forest plans were approved in the late 80’s, including changes in public values and expectations from public lands, recreation demands and types of recreation uses, demographics and development patterns, and natural resource policy. Other changes have occurred on the landscape itself; and there have been advances in our knowledge about landscape processes, science and technology. Even though amendments have been made over time to the existing plans to adapt to some of those changes, they still do not fully reflect the current needs of the forest and neighboring communities.

  • Owl Mountain Wilderness Evaluation
    May-June 2009 Owl Mountain Wilderness Evaluation WILDERNESS EVALUATION Owl Mountain – 621016 11,083 acres OVERVIEW History The 2006 inventory identified this area as meeting the criteria for a potential wilderness area (PWA) as described in Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.12, Chapter 70. The area had not been identified in any previous inventory. The following chart depicts the current 1988 Colville National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan direction for the 2006 inventoried area. Table 1--Management area percentages (rounded) Colville National Forest MA1 MA10 MA5 MA6 MA7 MA8 Old Growth Semi- Scenic Scenic/ Wood/ Winter Dependant primitive, Timber Winter Forage Range Species Motorized range Habitat Recreation 32% 37% 9% 12% 6% 3% Location and Access The Owl Mountain Proposed Wilderness Area (PWA) is contained wholly within Ferry County in T. 40 N., R. 35 E., Sec. 1, 12 13, 23, 24, and 25; and T. 40 N, R. 36 E., Sec. 3 – 10, 15 – 22, 27 – 31, and 34. The area is accessed on the east side through the Little Boulder/Independent Creek road systems, ultimately Forest Road 9576-370, which ends at a road closure on Huckleberry Ridge. There is no access from the north because of the Canadian border. The northeast side of the area is extremely rugged and steep and provides no access. Access from the southeast side is along U.S. Highway 395. However, very few people actually access the area from this side. The terrain on the lower slope is such that few hike up from the highway. Most of the access to this area is derived from driving into the heart of the Kerry Creek watershed on Forest Road 9576-150, which leads to the east end of Forest Trail 102 (Owl Mountain Motorized Trail).

  • Ecosystem Use by Indigenous People in an Oregon Coastal Landscape
    3220 Donald B. Zobel, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331- 2902 e-mail: [email protected] Ecosystem Use by Indigenous People in an Oregon Coastal Landscape Abstract Data regarding probable uses of biological materials by the indigenous people of the Salmon River-Cascade Head area of the Oregon coast were used to estimate the peoples use of various ecosystems near villages. Of 308 uses identified, 256 were attributable to a given species; 124 species were identified. All local ecosystems were important sources of organisms for the people, with no apparent concentration of highly used species in any particular ecosystem. One species was cultivated, one domesticated, and five acquired by trade. Four major plant resources, camas, yew, hazel, and beargrass, are not known from the Cascade Head landscape, but may have been available from elsewhere in village territory. House construction without use of cedar planks, as indicated by ethnographic records, may have resulted from the paucity of western redcedar in the Salmon River lowlands. The scarcity of several widely used taxa near coastal village sites, especially western redcedar, may have limited the wealth of this indigenous population, even on the resource-rich Oregon coast. Introduction Tillamook, who resided near Cascade Head on the north-central Oregon Coast, in an area where Indigenous people used resources primarily from information about historic and modern plant and the landscape in which they resided. The natural animal species distribution is unusually complete. distribution of resources governed the pattern and The list of taxa used was compared to historic richness of their lives.

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.
