Grant Description

The lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management in western Oregon are interspersed with private lands in a checkerboard pattern. However, watershed processes span these boundaries. This project is being developed for the purpose of studying the effect of timber harvest on hydrology, water quality, and aquatic organisms in a paired watershed study in the Hinkle Creek drainage within Calapooya Creek Watershed, which flows into the Umpqua River. The Bureau of Land Management, other government agencies, and private landowners must understand these processes in order to make informed decisions regarding the health of the overall watershed.
