Measuring conservation

success on the landscape:

A workshop for private landowners

Measuring fish, wildlife and their habitats provides vital information about the current and future health of the landscape. Conservation incentive programs increasingly require landowners to report these measures. But many landowners have questions about monitoring. This workshop will address: Why monitor? How do you get started monitoring, or improve your efforts? Who can help you monitor? What other assistance is available?

Date of Workshop: October 5, 2006

10:00 am – 2:30 pm

Location: Eugene Hilton in Eugene, Oregon

Joplin-Seeger Room

Highlights:

- Free admission!
