Conservation Property Acquisitions
The Tribe has acquired two more conservation properties this year. The acquisitions, Chahalpam Phase 2 and
Rattlesnake Butte Phase 3, were funded by the Bonneville Power Administration and are to be managed in
perpetuity for the benefit of native fish and wildlife species.
Chahalpam Phase 2, acquired on January 9, 2015, is
located just southwest of Stayton, Oregon. It is a 91-acre
property that lies in the historical floodplain of the North
Santiam River and has approximately 3,000 feet of river
frontage, as well as an additional 2,600 feet of side channel
and back channel habitats. The restoration and protection
of the property will benefit an array of native wildlife
species including “at risk” species such as spring Chinook
salmon, winter steelhead, Pacific lamprey, Oregon chub,
red-legged frog, western pond turtle, Little Willow
Flycatcher, and Pileated Woodpecker. The total acreage for
Chahalpam (combined Phase 1 and 2) is 429 acres.
Rattlesnake Butte Phase 3, acquired on May 8, 2015, is a
172-acre upland prairie and oak woodland parcel located
approximately 5 miles SE of Monroe, Oregon in the coastal
mountain foothills. The property was named Rattlesnake
Butte due to the presence of western rattlesnakes.
Formerly common on the valley floor and in the foothills,
rattlesnakes now persist at fewer than a dozen locations in
the Willamette Subbasin. The western rattlesnake is one of
many species that have been affected by the loss of upland
prairie and oak woodland habitats. These habitats also
sustain good numbers of Blacktail deer and Roosevelt elk.
The total acreage for Rattlesnake Butte (combined Phases
1, 2, and 3) is 269 acres.
