TRANSCRIPT
CHARACTERIZE AND ASSESS WILDLIFE-HABITAT TYPES AND STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS FOR SUB-BASINS WITHIN THE BLUE
MOUNTAIN PROVINCE
Project: 27003
PurposePurpose Develop a Coordinated and Consistent Set of
Landscape Information Across Subbasins within the Mountain Snake
NeedNeed Subbasin Planning: calls for detailed wildlife-
habitat mapping to establish new habitat baseline conditions that are critical to evaluating the effectiveness of projects in improving habitat, watershed health….and to develop watershed assessments…to facilitate integrated resources management and planning efforts..” [Snake Hells Canyon Subbasin Summary, p.147].
specific local resource mangers goals and objectives support a need for mapping, for example specific local resource mangers goals and objectives support a need for mapping, for example specific local resource mangers goals and objectives support a need for mapping, for example specific local resource mangers goals and objectives support a need for mapping, for example
Finer Resolution Mapping is supported or will meet over 20 current local Resource Manager’s Fish and Wildlife Goals, Objectives, and/or Strategies:
Several examples are in the Snake Hells Canyon Subbasin Summary: Nez Perce Tribal Fisheries/Conservation Enforcement Goals (p.120); IDFG’s Goal #1, Objective 1, Strategy 1.1.1. and 1.1.3 (p.121); Idaho Conservation Data Center Objective 2 (p. 126); and ODFW’s Wildlife Diversity Plan, Objective 1, Strategy 1.2 (p.132).

ConclusionConclusion
Mapping is consistent with NWPPC’s Mapping is consistent with NWPPC’s Multi-Species FrameworkMulti-Species Framework
Mapping is integrated with a regional Mapping is integrated with a regional wildlife-habitat relationships data setwildlife-habitat relationships data set
Mapping will be consistent with and within Mapping will be consistent with and within other subbasins other subbasins
