BURNS — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will spend roughly $4 mil- lion to clean, repair and upgrade the Oregon wild- life refuge that was the site of a 41-day armed occupa- tion by ranchers earlier this year. Fish and Wildlife Direc- tor Dan Ashe said he wants the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns to become a symbol to the rest of the country that col- laboration, not confronta- tion, endures, The Orego- nian reported. Department of the Interior Secretary Sally Jewell made similar statements during her visit employees out of town for safety to live at govern- ment expense in hotels for weeks, Ashe said. Fish biologist Linda Beck said she’s glad to be back at work, but the big- gest cost of the standoff was missed work. Beck and a team of biologists were planning to remove inva- sive carp by commercial fishing because the fish consume habitat needed by birds. At the beginning of the year, Malheur Lake covered about 3,000 acres. It has since grown to about 20,000 acres. “We lost the opportu- nity to fish for these fish in a really condensed set- ting,” Beck said.
