Good news from the wood ant nests! Three months after their translocation, a nest which we feared had been abandoned, is now very active. Find out how we are helping these ants through unseasonably cold weather for July.

Through the Partnering to Conserve Sagebrush Rangelands collaboration, the Intermountain West Joint Venture and Bureau of Land Management are excited to share a new film series called "Grazing Management for the Future." These six films explore the utility of the Bureau of Land Management’s Outcome-Based Grazing Authorizations through the experiences of five ranching operations across Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and Nevada. Outcome-based grazing Authorizations are a tool that allows ranchers to collaborate with their local field staff to build management flexibilities—such as the timing and location of grazing—and cooperative monitoring into their grazing authorizations. This enables managers to actively adapt to changes in weather, moisture conditions, vegetation, or whatever else Mother Nature may throw at them. The first two films are now available with additional releases every two weeks. Learn more and view the films from this link: https://lnkd.in/gY6XRTMN

NOAA Fish Passage Engineers from the West Coast Region's Engineering and Physical Sciences Branch (WCR EPSB) worked on this project for over 5 years providing technical design assistance to the Grand Ronde Model Watershed, Anderson Perry & Associates, City of La Grande, OR and ODFW. This project was quite the engineering feat, and as far as I know, is a one of a kind design anywhere in the world. Essentially it functions as both spillway and fishway for La Grande Reservoir, owned by the city of La Grande. After 100+ years of blocking upstream passage to adult steelhead the ladder was installed in 2017. In 2019 ODFW observed adult steelhead above the reservoir. This fishway was constructed at slopes up to 10% for over 400ft and consists of 60 pre-cast concrete vortex-weirs (27,000 pounds each) that cover over 40 feet of drop through the fishway. Its designed to continue to provide some degree of passage even at flows that spill out of the ladder. The design was based on a famous (at least in my mind) project in CA on a tributary to the Smith River, Peacock Creek (https://lnkd.in/grsdE9sE). There maybe other small reservoir spillways out there that could benefit from this type of fish passage design.

If you are experiencing issues with your sod installation, uneven soil could be the problem. Uneven soil is one of the most common issues that arise during sod installation. If the ground is not smooth and level, the sod may not establish properly, leading to an uneven lawn. You can easily fix this problem by raking the soil and removing any rocks, sticks, or debris. Then, use a leveling tool or a board to level the soil. The soil should be level but not compacted before laying down the sod.

Exciting update from the field! We are utilizing sediment control techniques to construct Islands in the delta of Red River, aiding Mother Nature in forming islands in Netley Lake and reviving natural marshland at the river's mouth. My expertise was crucial in designing the fence for this project, with my team leading the installation. Stay tuned as we observe how it performs in the upcoming months. 🌿 Some fascinating facts about the area: - The Red River flows from Minnesota to Lake Winnipeg, eventually reaching Hudson Bay. - Lake Winnipeg ranks as the 11th largest lake globally in terms of surface area. - Over the past 90 years, human activities have deteriorated the marshland. - Witnessing nature's creation of a new delta, we are expediting the process using our innovative sediment control techniques. - All products used are 100% natural and biodegradable.
