|
The project is well described, justified, described, planned, and documented. The location of this project makes it likely that fish and wildlife will benefit from the actions taken. The monitoring and evaluation plan is good. The sponsors are encouraged to effectively summarize their quantitative and qualitative results to provide further evidence of the value of the project. The long-term grazing allotment and grazing issues will be important issues affecting the landscape. Institutional policy decisions concerning grazing should be clearly articulated.
1. Technical Justification, Program Significance and Consistency, and Project Relationships The technical justification of the project is written clearly and is compelling. This ongoing work is in a good geographic position to improve water and riparian conditions downstream as well as in the immediate area. The logical need for the project is clearly explained. The restoration activities are likely to benefit several fish and wildlife species. The proposal identifies the importance of the project to the Malheur subbasin. Focal species were identified and related to both the Malheur subbasin plan and to ODFW's wildlife species of concern. Relationships to other restoration efforts in the region were given in general terms. 2. Project History and Results The history of the project is clearly reported and provides context that includes cultural justification to complement the biological justification. Partial results from 2006-2008 are presented in the proposal, but the short time series and lack of effective interpretation make evaluation of project success difficult. It would have been helpful to include monitoring data, even though preliminary, on upland and riparian vegetative recovery since grazing exclusion. 3. Objectives, Work Elements, and Methods The objectives, work elements, and methods are described in a coherent manner. Several work elements involving alternative strategies are used to address the same objective. It is likely that such a strategy will result in useful information to share with others concerning successes and lessons learned. A map of the area showing where different actions would occur (fencing, controlled burning, and noxious weed control) for each biological objective would help. In general the work description and methods were adequately detailed. 4. M&E Similar to the ISRP FY 2007-09 review, the monitoring and evaluation includes vegetative monitoring through four different methods: photo monitoring, noxious weed monitoring, HEP and forest inventory monitoring. The sponsors note that HEP provides an additional source of information that can be used to assess vegetative changes specifically for the focal species used in the baseline HEP, even though the ISRP does not recommend HEP as a monitoring tool. We note once again that field observations complement photography in understanding mechanisms involved and in developing any needed modifications or replicating success. More information should have been provided on how the data would be analyzed and archived. |

The logical need for the project is explained in the proposal. Multiple fish and wildlife species could possibly benefit from these restoration activities. The proposal demonstrates the significance of the project to the Malheur subbasin. The history of the project is clearly reported. The context includes cultural justification that complements the biological justification. This project is in a good topographic position to influence water and riparian conditions downstream as well the proximate area.
The monitoring and evaluation includes vegetative monitoring through four different methods: aerial photos, willow monitoring, vegetation transects and HEP. The sponsors note that the ISRP does not recommend HEP as a vegetation monitoring tool but assert that it is a source of additional information that can be used to assess vegetative changes specifically for the focal species used in the baseline HEP. Statements of desired conditions are very useful starting points. A few comments on vegetation monitoring: aerial photos will provide useful information on overstory species change, but will tell little about the reasons, e.g., recruitment or development of existing plants. Some field observation to complement photography will aid in understanding mechanisms involved and in developing any needed modifications or replicating success. It is noted that elk browsing appears to be limiting willow recovery. Is any management change indicated to assure meeting project objectives? It appears that vegetation frequency data may be incorrectly understood as more than just occurrence of a species in a proportion of plots examined. The sponsors should verify that this will give them what they are seeking. As far as transects: 1 per vegetation type will not allow very robust interpretation, regardless of the number of subsamples associated with the location. The ISRP appreciates that wildlife monitoring is also described in the response. Relationship and collaboration with other projects are noted. Publications and other methods of sharing results were identified in the response. Methods to share successes and lessons learned with others involved in similar monitoring and restoration activities should be utilized. Most objectives seem appropriate given the detail presented. The ISRP hopes to see more adaptive management as the project proceeds. Adaptive management means a systematic evaluation of monitoring results by the team to be used to verify successes, identify unanticipated opportunities, and change management when needed. The description of facilities, equipment, and personnel is well written. The facilities, equipment, and personnel are generally appropriate. The sponsors have identified a consulting biometrician to provide statistical support as necessary. |
