The USFS is looking for help fencing off ponds from cattle grazing and to set up bird blinds.  This project is still in its planning stage and may not be ready for action until the fall of 2009 or perhaps even 2010.  More information will follow as it firms up.

 

This project is about three miles from the monitoring project outlined above, near the BPA Sand Springs substation.  Roughly 50 acres will be fenced.  There is a known population of the pumice grape-fern that will be protected, as well as good habitat for the species.  This project will also set up bird watching blinds.
