Vosburg Creek
Location: Tillamook County, OR Updated: February 09, 2010
Organization: Lower Nehalem Community Trust Primary contact: Gareth Ferdun
This 8.5-acre parcel of land is located on the South-west edge of the City of Wheeler. It extends from its northern boundary of Highway 101 south 1,600 feet, and from Dubois Street west 210 feet. History The Vosburg Creek area has been and is now a forested wetlands area. 1939 aerial photos show that it once contained a baseball playing field. Vosburg creek supports coho, chinook and chum salmon. The property was used for a chum hatchery until about 20 years ago. It was donated to the Lower Nehalem Community Trust in 2005. Restoration has been focused on the removal of hatchery infrastructure, invasive plants removal, restoration of conifers and placement of large wood in the stream. Land Use The Trust maintains two buildings and a trail for educational programs, and public use
Band-tailed Pigeon Mineral Spring and Forage Project
Location: Washington County, OR Updated: January 19, 2010
Organization: Arbor House Tree Farm Primary contact: Scott Hayes
Improve and Enhance Late summer & Fall Forage: Band-tailed Pigeons (Columba fasciata) currently feed on 1.5 acres (mostly wild Cascara and some Choke Cherry). This project includes growing large Douglas fir staging trees used by pigeons to stage prior to feeding. Currently about 35 pigeons feed in this area each year. Create Artificial Mineral Springs and Monitor Pigeon Activity: Currently there are no natural mineral springs on the property. In Summer and Fall 2009, an artificial water source with high concentrations of sodium (Na) attracted Band-tailed Pigeons. in 2010, guided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, it is proposed that one or two artificial watering springs, or mineral soil areas, be monitored for use by pigeons.
Amphibian Population Monitoring
Location: Marion County, OR Updated: January 18, 2010
Organization: Rebbecca Hill Primary contact: Rebbecca Hill
Willamette Mission State Park, located ~ 8 miles NW of Salem, Oregon is scheduled to undergo a habitat restoration project during the summer of 2010. The restoration project is expected to change Mission Slough and Mission Lake, seasonally isolated lentic (pond) systems, to a single lotic (stream) system that will be connected to the mainstem Willamette River year round, thus creating additional habitat for endangered fish species. Additionally, invasive plant species will be removed from the channel and native species will be planted in their place to promote historic conditions. As part of this restoration project, it is important to monitor not only the fish and plant species that are the target of the study, but also to monitor non-target bioindicators such as amphibians. I am currently surveying the park to determine pre-restoration amphibian population abundance and distributions in the park. Post-restoration monitoring efforts will follow starting spring 2011.
