Projects

BMEI is focused on landscape scale restoration “Ridge top to Valley Bottom”. The primary objective is to improve elk distribution on public lands as well as landscapes that have high tolerance for elk.

This objective is accomplished through active management which includes but not limited to; commercial and non-commercial forest thinning, prescribed burning, herbicide application, seeding, and road closures/reinforcement.

The following projects are actively being implemented and leverage BMEI funds in excess of 5:1.

South Starkey Thinning for Elk Enhancement

The South Starkey Thinning for Elk Enhancement 2022 (Project) is a continuation of a partnership that began in 2011 between the RMEF, the USFS, and ODFW. Since 2011, 6,958 acres in the vicinity have been thinned with the combined support of RMEF, BMEI, ODFW, Tittle II, Blue Mountain Habitat Restoration Council, and USFS funds.

The project area is within the ODFW Starkey Management Unit, adjacent to the Dry Beaver/Ladd Canyon Cooperative Travel Management Area (DBLC TMA) and combines two past RMEF funded project areas (Chicken Hill Thinning for Elk Enhancement 2011 - 2014 and South Starkey Thinning for Elk Enhancement 2015 - 2022).

The Project will create a more resilient landscape, increase the quantity and quality of forage for Rocky Mountain Elk in a large, contiguous area of high elk security (i.e., DBLC TMA), and reduce big-game damage on private land by reducing the density of young, mixed conifer stands.

Greater Williams Prairie Restoration Project

Ridgetop to Valley Bottom ‘Whole-Watershed’ Restoration (~17,500 Acres)

The objective of this project is to retain elk distribution on the Ochoco National Forest and to minimize impacts to adjacent private lands, specifically on Big Summit Prairie and the Nature Conservancy. Efforts coincide with other habitat restoration implementation in the Gap planning area.

Thinning efforts will create more forage for big game as a result of less competition for resources and an increase in sunlight reaching the forest floor. The project intends to improve the habitat effectiveness of elk and mule deer as well as other species which utilize late seral habitats through thinning and road closures and meadow restoration used for parturition habitat and critical forage for big game.

Restoration efforts will occur in habitats occupied by R6 sensitive species such as silver bordered fritillary, western bumblebee, Peck’s mariposa lily, redband trout, and Columbia spotted frog.

  • Meadow Restoration on approximately 560 and 68 acres of meadow/water table restoration at Williams Prairie and Lookout Prairie, respectively. 

  • Aquatic flora and fauna habitat restoration on approximately 9.25 stream miles. In addition, all 8 miles of stream are projected to have large wood added.

  • Forest Health and terrestrial habitat restoration of up to 10,000 acres from ridge top to valley bottom (i.e commercial thinning of approximately 450 acres, non-commercial thinning of approximately 5,430 acres, mechanized slash treatment and hand-piling of approximately 1,100 acres, thinning around encroached aspen stands of approximately 11 acres). Additional stand-alone work planned in RHCAs includes approximately 38 acres of noncommercial thinning, 32 acres of hardwood restoration thinning and 202 acres of prescribed fire. 

  • Approximately 30 miles of road treatments including 15 miles of road closure reinforcements and 9 miles of road closures and 6 miles of road decommission. 

  • Early detection and rapid response treatment of invasive plants throughout the subwatershed.

  • Riparian planting of shrubs and hardwoods on approximately 630 acres.

  • Cattle management projects will include active management of livestock on all pastures within the subwatershed, construction/reconstruction of 3 water developments, reconstruction of 1.5 miles of a riparian exclosure fence in the Long Prairie Pasture, construction of 4 miles of temporary fence around Williams Prairie, reconstruction of 2.5 miles of fence around the Middle Pasture of the Brush Creek Allotment, and planting hardwoods and creating physical barriers (such as wood, rock and/or wire cages to protect hardwoods and improve bank stability along most of the NF Crooked River).

Magone Juniper Thinning Project – Malheur National Forest

The Magone Project is on the Blue Mountain Ranger District within the Malheur National Forest and encompasses approximately 27,000 acres within two subwatersheds that drain into the Upper John Day River.

One of the objectives of the Magone project was to maintain or improve wildlife habitat. Approximately 740 acres in the Nipple Butte Inventoried Roadless Area occurring along ridgetops, drainages, and scablands with higher densities of bitterbrush, mountain mahogany, and various bunchgrasses were identified as high-priority wildlife habitat. Thinning the competing conifers and junipers will help release quality browse species for several wildlife species. Because these habitats occur in a largely unroaded area with minimal motorized disturbances, the increase in forage quality and quantity will be highly beneficial to habitat enhancement and retaining big game on the Forest.

Commercial and non-commercial thinning associated with the Magone Project are in various stages of completion. However, the partnerships and financial investments from Blue Mountain Elk Initiative, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Oregon Hunters Association have contributed to a targeted approach of wildlife habitat improvement within the roadless area.
