John Day Fauna Diversity

We are completing a comprehensive inventory of flora and fauna and delineating the ecological communities across the John Day River and Willow Creek area for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Our inventory will identify the presence, locations, coverage and habitat quality of terrestrial state and federal threatened and endangered species and invasive, nuisance and noxious species within ecological communities. Using Reconyx Hyperfire cameras, we deployed 55 cameras in a grid pattern in the spring of 2017, and resurveyed the same locations again in 2018.
