Integrated Approach to Production and Conservation

MONTH-YEAR PUBLISHED

SHORT DESCRIPTION

The goal of the OESF is to learn how to integrate production and conservation across the landscape. To achieve this goal, the northern spotted owl conservation strategy in the Experimental Forest is based on an "unzoned forest" concept, i.e., a forest in which no special zones are set aside exclusively for either species conservation or commodity production.

The successful recovery of naturally spawning salmon populations depends upon directing actions simultaneously at harvest, hatcheries, habitat and hydro, the 4H’s. The 1998 state legislative session produced a number of bills aimed at salmon recovery.  Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 2496 is a key piece of the 1998 Legislature’s salmon recovery effort, with the focus directed at salmon habitat issues.

Riparian Restoration in the Dickey Watershed of the Quillayute River System

MONTH-YEAR PUBLISHED

February 2005

SHORT DESCRIPTION

Non-native invasive plant species have become an increasing problem throughout the landscape in recent years. Control measures by landowners have been non-existent or lacking in many areas, largely due to a lack of dedicated resources. Many of these species are upland varieties and do not impact fish habitat and associated riparian areas. However, Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), Giant knotweed (Polygonum sachalinense), and other hybridized variations are an exception.

SHORT DESCRIPTION

For many Pacific Northwest forests, little is known about the spatial and temporal variability in tree growth – climate relationships, yet it is this information that is needed to predict how forests will respond to future climatic change. We studied the effects of climatic variability on forest growth at 74 plots in the western and northeastern Olympic Mountains.

Stream Biological Assessments (Benthic Macroinvertebrates) for Watershed Analysis Mid-Sol Duc Watershed Case Study

MONTH-YEAR PUBLISHED

November 1998

SHORT DESCRIPTION

A method was developed for surveying current biological conditions in a watershed and interpreting the results. The biological condition of five streams was compared to several watershed scale assessments. Benthic macroinvertebrate communities were evaluated using biometric analysis and site condition was determined using diagnostic flow charts. The survey of benthic macroinvertebrates identified three categories of risk from further changes to current watershed condition.

The rivers draining the west side of Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula still contain large tracts of pristine temperate rainforest and continue to sustain a diversity of wild salmon and steelhead populations. These rivers’ wild salmon populations are some of the healthiest remaining in the contiguous United States and represent core centers of salmon diversity, abundance, and productivity—they are Salmon Strongholds.
