Volunteers needed at
Boardman Grasslands
The Nature Conservancy invites those interested
in protecting the ecology of Boardman Grasslands to
participate in a volunteer work party May 19-20. This
preserve is located in the gently rolling hills south of the
Columbia River near Boardman. Sandy flood-deposit and
loamy lakebed soils host excellent examples of globally
rare Columbia Basin habitat types: four native bunchgrass
communities; four sagebrush-steppe communities; and one
bitterbrush com m unity. The C onservation Area and
adjoining military lands harbor Oregon's largest viable
population of the Washington ground squirrel, listed in
Oregon as an endangered species. The grassland and shrub-
steppe habitats also host a suite of sensitive bird species,
such as ferruginous hawk, loggerhead shrike, sage sparrow,
grasshopper sparrow, long-billed curlew, and burrowing
owl, as well as a diversity of other wildlife. Volunteers will
meet in lone at 9:30 a.m. to remove non-native knapweed.
Participants should bring a lunch, water, and appropriate
clothing, including work gloves and sturdy hiking shoes.

Salvage logging will
close portion of
M urderers Creek Unit
Salvage logging on
the Malheur National Forest
will close Aldrich Lookout
Road (Forest Service Road
2150) and surrounding areas
beginning this fall, limiting
hunter access to A ldrich
Mountain on the northwest
side of the po p u lar
M urderers Creek Wildlife
Management Unit.
The closure is due to
the Thorn S alvage Fire
Recovery Project and runs
from Oct. 1, 2007 to June
30, 2008. It directly affects
7,800 acres of the 735,762-
acre Murderers Creek unit
and includes portions of the
M urderers C reek-Flagtail
Travel Management Area.
For public safety
during harvest operations.
National Forest lands within
the salvage area w ill be
closed to all public entry,
including foot travel. In
addition. F orest Service
Roads 2140, 2150, 2170 and
associated roads will be
closed to all vehicles to
reduce safety co n cern s
associated with logging and
log haul.
“T hough salv ag e
logging will occur on only a
sm all po rtio n o f the
Murderers Creek Unit, the
road closures will restrict
access to a larger portion
that happens to be popular
with hunters,” said ODFW
D istric t B io lo g ist Ryan
Torland. “Hunters need to be
aware of the closure of both
roads and forestland in the
Aldrich Mountain area this
season and plan their hunting
trips accordingly.”
H unters may still
walk in to hunt in areas
outside the salvage project
perimeter. Maps showing the
area and road closures are
available at all M alheur
National Forest offices and
can also be found at http://
www.fs.fed.us/r6/malheur/
(see Shake Table Fire
C om plex R oad C losure
Map).
The controlled hunts
in Murderers Creek affected
by the closure are:
246X Murderer Cr
U n it-O n e bull elk
246A W Murderers
C r-O n e elk
246C Flagtail - One

146 M u rd erer Cr

Hunters that selected
one of the above hunts as
their first choice and now
w ish to change th eir
selection should contact
ODFW's Licensing Division
at (503) 947-6100 no later
than June 1. Bighorn sheep
and antelope hunts will not
be affected by the closure.
The Thorn Salvage
Fire Recovery Project is
expected to salvage trees
killed in the Shake Table
Complex Fire, which burned
in August 2006. The current
proposal could salvage dead
and dying trees on up to
3,900 acres and rem ove
potential hazard trees along
as many as 43.4 miles of
open roads. For m ore
