The focus of the Science Work Group will be improving our knowledge of lamprey and including lamprey habitat needs into designs of restoration projects. You will recall we discussed this back in June 2020 and biologists working on lamprey recovery will provide an update on what we can do with restoration activities to help protect/recover them.

Western painted turtle research and habitat restoration underway at the Sandy River Delta – your participation is needed!
Located at the confluence of the Sandy and Columbia rivers, The Sandy River Delta is a popular recreation area for walkers, horseback riders, and birdwatchers. It is also important habitat for the western painted turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii).
