  4. Upper and Lower Bear Creek • Periodic water temp and level monitoring. • We put the data on graphs • We’ve taken regeneration plots to calculate the number of new trees growing

  5. Stream flow calculations to determine the volume of water flow at monitoring sites • Conducted “green-line” vegetation inventories • Learned timber cruising from professional forester Mark Dreyer

  6. Department of Environmental Quality • Learned how to install and download info from HOBO’s • Installed 12 HOBO’s late spring at sites along rock creek, Nehalem river, east fork Nehalem, oak ranch creek

  7. HOBO’s are devices to continuously monitor water temperature. • We removed them in September and learned how to download the data to a computer

  8. Wetlands Restoration Project • Removed invasive species. • Reed canary grass scotch broom

  9. Wetlands Restoration Project • Led VHS, VMS, VES at Sustainability Day planted native shrubs and trees adapted to wetland conditions.
