John Day Fauna Diversity Project
We are using motion-sensing trail cameras to detect any fauna inhabiting the John Day River and Willow Creek areas along the Washington-Oregon border. Our inventory will be used by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to document the presence of both terrestrial state and federal threatened and endangered species as well as invasive species.
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.
