Description: OWEB has been acquiring watershed restoration information since 1997 to track on-the-ground efforts to restore aquatic habitat and water quality conditions in Oregon. The specific objectives of the OWRI are as follows: " synthesize and evaluate the types of restoration activities implemented within watersheds and statewide; " document voluntary efforts in the public and private sectors to restore watershed conditions; " provide information (in database and GIS formats) to watershed councils and other local groups to support watershed assessments and future restoration planning and prioritization; " estimate the proportion of restoration activities meeting state habitat restoration guidelines; and " provide information to support effectiveness monitoring of regional and statewide restoration activities. This version of the dataset covers the years 2000-2020 and has been subset to only include selected treatment types that are relevant to Sage-Grouse habitat.
Description: This dataset includes the perimeters of conservation actions taken to address threats to sagebrush rangeland health or sage-grouse habitat on public lands in southeastern Oregon, including annual grass and noxious weed treatments (generally herbicide application), conifer removal, fuel breaks and fuels management, other vegetation management or habitat enhancement (seeding, shrub thinning, etc), and riparian restoration. It includes records provided by land management agencies that occurred only on public lands and omits the many actions taken on private lands, where exact location information is restricted. This data was compiled in 2020 through the Conservation Efforts Database (https://conservationefforts.org/) and covers actions through the year 2018. There are known and unknown issues with accuracy in this dataset and this does not represent the official data from any agency. For more information and summaries of actions including private lands, see the SageCon Consrvation Actions Report (https://oe.oregonexplorer.info/externalcontent/sagecon/SageCon_Conservation_Actions_Report.pdf).
Description: The purpose of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW or the Department) sage-grouse core area approach to conservation (OAR 635-140-0015) is ‘to address greater sage-grouse management from a conservation biology perspective that identifies the most productive populations and habitat that meets all life history needs.’ Under this overarching goal, ODFW identified and mapped sage-grouse habitats necessary to conserve 90% of Oregon’s greater sage-grouse population, defined as ‘Core Areas’, or 'core habitat'. Similarly, ODFW identified low-density habitats, which provide additional breeding, summer, and migratory habitats for Oregon’s greater sage-grouse populations. The ODFW sage-grouse core and low-density habitat map was originally delineated in 2011 as one component of the Oregon Sage-Grouse Conservation Assessment and Strategy (CAAS). Sage-grouse core areas were named in 2011, and these named core areas were adopted as Sage-Grouse Priority Areas for Conservation (PACs), a range-wide designation, by the Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Objectives Team (COT) and published in the Team’s 2013 Report. ODFW sage-grouse core habitat and sage-grouse PACs are analogous.The Goal 5 sage-grouse rule (OAR 660-023-0115) was adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) in 2015. This rule defines core and low-density sage-grouse habitat and makes specific reference to the sage-grouse map delineated by ODFW and outlined in the CAAS. The LCDC adopted the 2011 ODFW sage-grouse core and low-density habitat map into OAR 660-023-0115 as the controlling document identifying significant sage-grouse habitat. The Goal 5 sage-grouse rule (OAR 660-023-0115) defines significant sage-grouse habitat and identifies types of land use that could conflict with the conservation of Oregon's sage-grouse populations. The Rule directs counties to review applications for development permits using the mitigation hierarchy (avoidance, minimization, and mitigation; defined in OAR 635-140-0000 through 0025) and sets development thresholds that limit the amount of significant sage-grouse habitat impacted due to new large-scale development.The core and low-density habitat map was updated by ODFW in 2023 with the Department's most recent sage-grouse data and the best available science, following the methodology outlined in the CAAS (see 'Sage-Grouse Core Area Habitat Categorization and Conservation Recommendations using ODFW Fish and Wildlife Habitat Mitigation Policy'). During the final phases of the update process, the draft map was reviewed by ODFW District Biologists, cooperating agency biologists, elected county officials or their representatives in counties with sage-grouse habitat, Oregon's Sage-Grouse Local Implementation Teams (LITs), conservation partners, and the public to ground-truth and refine the boundaries at a 1:10,000 scale. The updated core and low-density map adopted by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission on 15 December 2023. Updated sage-grouse PAC boundaries were delineated within the final approved core habitat and appropriately named. The Department expects the LCDC to adopt the updated (2023) sage-grouse core and low-density habitat map as part of the Goal 5 sage-grouse rule (OAR 660-023-0115), thereby replacing the deprecated 2011 map. Until the updated (2023) sage-grouse habitat map is adopted by the LCDC to replace the 2011 map, the 2011 map will continue to apply for OAR 660-023-0115.Spatial ReferenceProjected Coordinate System: NAD 1983 Oregon Statewide Lambert (Intl Feet)Projection: Lambert Conformal ConicWKID: 2992Authority: EPSGLinear Unit: Feet (0.3048)Geographic Coordinate System: NAD 1983WKID: 4269Authority: EPSGAngular Unit: Degree (0.0174532925199433)Datum: D North American 1983

Name: Priority Wildlife Connectivity Areas (PWCAs)
Display Field: Name
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This layer highlights Priority Wildlife Connectivity Areas in Oregon. Priority Wildlife Connectivity Areas (PWCAs) represent the parts of the landscape with the highest overall value for facilitating wildlife movement. This interconnected network of PWCAs was developed by extracting the top 1% of priority connectivity areas for all 54 OCAMP species and linking these areas using an optimal network analysis, with an emphasis on high-priority areas (i.e., the top 2% of priority areas were preferred over the top 3%, which were preferred over the top 4%, etc.) as well as climate refugia and permanent streams/riparian climate corridors. Habitat not included in PWCAs may still represent quality wildlife habitat, and may still have value for wildlife connectivity. PWCAs were not delineated within GAP Status 1 lands (Designated Wilderness Areas and Crater Lake National Park). PWCA Types:Regions were delineated from the combined top 1% of priorities across all 54 surrogate species selected for the connectivity analysis. Regions are large, contiguous areas and represent the highest-value habitat for facilitating species movement throughout the state.Connectors follow the optimal pathways between Regions. Connectors represent the best available habitat for facilitating movement from Region to Region. Connectors may pass through high-quality habitat in intact, relatively undisturbed parts of the landscape, as well as the best remaining marginal habitat in developed or degraded areas.Steppingstones are individual or small groups of isolated hexagons within urban growth boundaries. Steppingstones represent remnant areas of intact habitat within otherwise developed landscapes that may help facilitate wildlife movement through urban areas.For more detailed information on PWCAs and suggestions for conservation action to benefit wildlife connectivity within each PWCA, please see the PWCA web map: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/6979b6598f904951bd0af1821e1595f1/For more information on the methodology used to delineate PWCAs, please see the PWCA web page on the Oregon Conservation Strategy website: https://oregonconservationstrategy.org/success-story/priority-wildlife-connectivity-areas-pwcas/

Description: Essential pronghorn habitat is that habitat that ODFW district biologists determined to be necessary to maintain current pronghorn populations. It is not all the occupied pronghorn habitat in Oregon but loss of this habitat would result in the declne of pronghorn herds. All these habitats are considered essential although they have different types. The types include essential and important summer range; essential and important winter range; essential and important transitional habitats or migration corridors; high concentration areas; fawning habitat; migration/transition range, and a combinations of multiple types. The mapping is based on existing Goal 5 mapping, expert knowledge of field staff, collar data, herd composition surveys, and other aerial surveys.
