Friends of the Owyhee
$8,066

Funds are requested for supplies, printing, and consulting services for a short-term, detailed beaver survey along Succor Creek in the Owyhee sub-region of the Basin and Range Ecoregion. The end of the project will be marked by a significant data bank for decision making with a keystone educational public presentation, publication, and/or guided hike. In collaboration with Oregon State Parks and Recreation, Friends of the Owyhee is pursuing the creation of a hiking trail in Succor Creek State Natural Area that is surveyed to extend near some of the current beaver habitat. As a part of this project, Friends of the Owyhee will release a digital version of the trail. When the trail is completed, they would like to include an information sign discussing beaver habitat in desert riparian areas, and design funding is requested here.

The Committee recommends funding this project for $8,066 with $1,000 less than requested to remove the signage for the end of the project.
