1 ACCESS & HABITAT PROGRAM Regional Advisory Council Project Proposal Review ODFW Region / A&H Regional Council: Northeast Region / Northeast Council Project Proposal Title: Green Diamond Resource Company Access Area Applicants(s): Blayde Fry Date of Council Review: March 1, 2018 Type of Project: Access X Habitat Other Damage Motion: Morgan Olson made a motion to approve the project as proposed. John Groupe seconded the motion. Council Member Position Vote Morgan Olson Chairman Yes Vicki McClaran Landowner Representative Yes Joseph Patnode Landowner Representative Yes Larry Snyder Landowner Representative Yes John Groupe Hunter Representative Yes Tim Campbell Hunter Representative Yes Vacant Hunter Representative Absent Disposition of Vote: Motion passed 6:0 Project Strengths: Project provides year round Welcome to Hunt access to 22,041 acres of private timberlands for big game, predators and upland game birds. Incorporating these 22,041 acres of GDRC lands with other A&H Program lands (Hancock Forest Management), creates over 270,000 acres of extremely popular, highly publicized, and well used hunting areas throughout NE Oregon. Historically, these properties were owned by Hancock Forest Management and received a very high amount of use during the big game hunting seasons- especially in the Sled Springs WMU. It is anticipated that use levels will remain very high under GDRC ownership. In the Sled Springs Unit alone, 79% private lands, this project provides important access to hunters who would otherwise have a very difficult time finding opportunities to hunt. These properties will receive an extremely high amount of hunting use, general recreational use and will continue to give back to the local economies in the form of grazing opportunities for private livestock and firewood and mushroom gathering. Project Concerns: None

Proposed Start Date: 08/01/ Proposed End Date: 07/31/ Estimated Cost of Project: $70, Access and Habitat Fund Request: $66, Briefly explain what the project proposes to do: This project will pay Green Diamond Resource Company (GDRC) $1.00/acre for Welcome to Hunt access on 22,041 acres of privately owned commercial timberlands for a period of three years to hunt big game (i.e. mule deer, white-tailed deer, Rocky Mountain elk, bear, cougar and coyote) and upland game birds (i.e. turkey, Hungarian partridge, California quail and forest grouse). 12. Habitat and Landscape: Describe the habitat and landscape of the project area. GDRC lands are privately owned and managed timberlands. Multiple habitat types can be found throughout GDRC lands including Big Game Winter Range, Big Game Summer Range & Year-Round Wildlife Habitat. i

4 13. Background: Describe the project area and explain the wildlife habitat and/or access challenge or opportunity this project will address. Address how current management actions benefit public access and/or wildlife and their habitat needs. In 2016, Green Diamond Resource Company (GDRC) purchased 22,041 acres of Hancock Forest Management (HFM) lands scattered across three counties and six Wildlife Management Units (WMU s) in NE Oregon. Green Diamond Resource Company is a fifth-generation, family-owned forest products company. They own and manage working forest lands in the southern United States, California, Oregon and Washington in an environmentally responsible manner. A few important facts about GDRC: GDRC operates under the toughest forest practice regulations found anywhereregulations developed to protect water quality, soils, fish, wildlife species, sensitive plants and archeological and cultural sites. In California, GRDC lands have achieved Forest Management Certification under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards. GDRC lands in Washington and Oregon are independently certified to be in compliance with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Standard. GDRC harvest less than 2% of their land base annually; all harvested areas are quickly replanted with native species to start the forest cycle anew. These vibrant, working forests improve water quality, provide habitat for many fish and wildlife species and store carbon in both trees and in the quality wood products these forests produce. In 1992, GDRC was the first company to receive approval for a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the Northern Spotted Owl. In 2007, they obtained approval for an HCP that protected seven aquatic species on lands in California. A Multi-species Habitat Conservation Plan that protects 51 fish and wildlife species on lands in Washington was approved in Ethical conduct is expected of everyone who serves GDRC- Board members, officers, managers, employees and contractors. It is a tradition that has endured for more than a century and one that will drive success for future generations. GDRC takes pride in their In the Clear/Out of the Bight Code of Conduct. GDRC is active in their operating communities, through monetary contributions and in-kind service to a variety of health and human services, environmental and arts initiatives. In Oregon, GDRC operates under the state s tough forest practices laws and rules to manage lands while protecting fish, wildlife and water quality. These rules ensure that areas will be reforested after harvest, limit harvest size and provide guidance in all areas of forest management. GDRC stewardship ethic guides all forest management activities. They work closely with the tribes, neighbors and other stakeholders, continually taking the long term view and setting the standard in working forests. ( GDRC has analyzed and identified opportunities to generate additional revenue through the sale of access permits on lands in NE Oregon. The company has experience with fee access in other parts of the United States; however it is because of the partnership and collaboration that this application is being submitted. ii

5 GDRC owns lands in highly desirable Oregon Big Game Units. For example, HFM lands in the Wenaha WMU receive incredibly high use from early April through the end of December each year. The Wenaha WMU offers limited opportunity for Big Game hunters, sometimes taking as many as years to draw the highly coveted Wenaha Branch Bull Tag. In the Sled Springs Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) alone, roughly 1,000 big game hunters annually chose to hunt on lands owned by GDRC and HFM. In many of the other Wildlife Management Units (WMU s), recreational use of these lands rivals use on the adjacent national forest lands. 14. Past A&H History: Describe any past Access & Habitat project, especially if the proposed project deals with continuation or amendment to a past project. Prior to 2016, when the lands were owned by Hancock Forest Management, these 22,041 acres had been available to the general public via the Access and Habitat agreement. In Oregon, Green Diamond Resource Company provides public access to nearly all of its lands, including the company s 600,000 acre Travel Management Area () in southern Oregon. The 22,041 acres in NE Oregon are part of five existing Cooperative Travel Management Areas ( s). One area of particular importance is the Sled Springs Management Demonstration Area (MDA). The MDA focuses on improving landowner sportsmen relations, enhancing sportsmen success and satisfaction with management programs, and on the testing and demonstration of new elk management tools. This land base has remained open to public access throughout the past 40+ years. Wanting to maintain public access and continue to foster additional relationships between GDRC and the Department are the driving forces behind this application. Funding of this project will ensure continued public access to over 22,041 acres of valuable recreational and hunting lands. Historically, hunter access to the s and all other HFM, and newly purchased GDRC lands, has been supported by A&H grants: 95017, 96020, 97010, 97059, 99009, , , , , , , , , and These activities have ensured that public access and hunting are supportive of state law and landowner resource-protection rules are enforced. 15. Hunter Use Data: New Projects: Must give estimates of expected usage and how usage will be assessed. Old Projects: Use Access Area Permit data, vehicle or pedestrian counts, hunter interviews, etc. Hunter use data will be very difficult to measure due to the scattered nature of the GRDC properties. With the properties being scattered over six WMU s and interspersed with HFM lands, accurately measuring hunter use through voluntary check-in/check-out stations would require as many 50 stations. Logistically this method would be very difficult to employ, not to mention the fact that hunters would be expected to know where they are on the landscape. As stated earlier, these lands are interspersed with HFM lands and boundaries between properties are not always clearly represented. Hunter information collected by ODFW Biologist and OSP officers during the main big game and upland game bird hunting seasons will be evaluated each year for the life of the project. iii

6 16. Project Objective(s): (a) (b) What is the objective of the proposed project? The objective of the proposed project is to provide Welcome to Hunt public hunting access on 22,041 of Green Diamond Resource Company lands for three consecutive years beginning August 1, 2018 and ending July 31, How will the project benefit wildlife habitat? N/A (c) Select species that will benefit from habitat improvements: Big Game Upland Bird Migratory Game Bird Deer Chukar Ducks Elk Mountain Quail Geese Bear Valley Quail American Coot Cougar Pheasants Wilsons Snipe Pronghorn Forest Grouse Mourning Dove Bighorn Sheep Turkey Band Tailed Pigeon Mountain Goat Gray Partridge Sage Grouse (d) Length of time benefits provided <3yr 3-6yr >6yr Examples of Project Benefit Duration Noxious weed...2yrs Forage planting....5yrs Aspen fencing...10yrs Range fertilization 2yrs Forest thinning....5yrs Aspen plant/fence.10yrs Rx Fire-grassland..2yrs Aspen (conifer removal).5yrs Road closure..10yrs Rx Fire-forested. 3yrs Juniper removal...7yrs Road decommission.10yrs Fence Removal 10yrs Water Dev/Enhancement.10yrs (Source: Blue Mountains Elk Initiative Project Evaluation Criteria) (e) How will the project benefit public access? If limited access, how many hunters will be permitted? The project will provide Welcome to Hunt public hunting access to 22,041 acres of privately owned timberlands in highly desired hunting locations across several different Wildlife Management Units in NE Oregon (See Attached Map). In addition to the popularity of these properties, this project would provide access to areas that receive big game damage while at the same time enhancing access to adjacent A&H program lands (i.e. Hancock Forest Management, Glass Hill Access Area) and other public lands. iv

7 Public use restrictions may occur during Fire Season across GDRC owned lands. For consistency and simplicity, these restrictions will align with the same restrictions imposed on neighboring Hancock Forest Management lands. These restrictions are identified in the procedure section of this document (Section 18). (f) Select species for which public access will provided: Big Game Upland Bird Migratory Game Bird Deer Chukar Ducks Elk Mountain Quail Geese Bear Valley Quail American Coot Cougar Pheasants Wilsons Snipe Pronghorn Forest Grouse Mourning Dove Bighorn Sheep Turkey Band Tailed Pigeon Mountain Goat Gray Partridge Sage Grouse Other: Coyote (g) If damage related, how will the project alleviate/eliminate the problem? This project does not address damage per se. However, by providing vehicle-free security areas, the Travel Management Area s ( s) substantially contribute to the alleviation of depredation on adjoining private lands. The security and solitude that is being provided by the s continues to attract and hold big game animals longer, helping to reduce damage complaints on adjacent private agricultural and timberlands. 17. Project Location: Attach a map and provide description of the location and how to get there from a major highway. Please see the attached maps for property locations. 18. Procedure: Specifically describe how the project will be conducted--use separate page for additional information, drawings, or pictures. Year-round recreational use and Welcome to Hunt public access will begin August 1, 2018 and end July 31, A color map will be produced by ODFW and available to public hunters. The landowner will be provided with standard A&H signs such as: Welcome to Hunt, Safety Zone, Closed to Motorized Vehicles, Opportunity provided in Cooperation with the A&H Program, etc. ODFW staff will assist GDRC with the posting of signs on GDRC lands. Specific access area rules that apply to GDRC lands are listed below: Green Diamond Resource Company Access Area Rules: Public use restrictions may occur during Fire Season across GDRC owned lands when fire season is implemented by the Oregon Department of Forestry. These restrictions are: v

8 Fire Season Declared No campfires, stove fires, charcoal briquettes BBQ s or other open burning No fireworks No off-road motorized travel No smoking No non-industrial welding, cutting or grinding Non industrial chain saw use restricted from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm Camping allowed Propane BBQ s, cooking stoves and heaters allowed Regulated Use Closure Stage 1 No camping No non-industrial chainsaw use No open flame of any kind including propane No ATV use All native surface dirt roads closed to motorized vehicles Rocked roads with vegetation growing on the road surface closed to motorized vehicles Leased cabin use allowed with the before mentioned restrictions Regulated Use Closure Stage 2 All roads closed to motorized use Leased cabin use allowed by non-motorized access Non-motorized access allowed Regulated Use Closure Stage 3 All lands closed to public use and access Leased cabin use closed GDRC Area Manager will monitor Oregon Department of Forestry closure status and communicate public use restrictions to the public using one of the following: radio, newspaper, posting of signage in the woods or by posting a message on the GDRC recreation website or phone line. Only those roads shown in green, and the adjacent area within 300 feet of those roads, are open to motorized vehicles during the period(s) of restrictions. Motorized vehicle travel within the Travel Management Area(s) boundary on all other roads and trails, and cross-country is prohibited except by special permit from the landowner or land managing agency. Snowmobiles will be subject to these travel restrictions prior to the end of the last deer and/or elk hunting season in each calendar year, but snow machines will be exempt from travel restrictions thereafter and during the period from January 1 through the last day of spring turkey season. During all closure periods, normal forest management activities including logging, grazing, and slash disposal will be in progress. Please be aware of logging traffic on some roads. No one involved in these operations is allowed to hunt, transport game or hunters while using vehicles in the closed area(s). vi

9 Use caution with firearms. Leave a clean camp! Please don t pound nails into live trees. If you must build a latrine, remove all building materials and cover the trench before you leave. Do not cut down snags! Do not leave camp or warming fires unattended. There is a 14 day stay limit for camping. All hay and straw used by hunters for horse and mule feed or bedding must be certified free of noxious weeds. This requirement is necessary to limit the spread of noxious weeds. The landing of aircraft is prohibited within the closure area except for emergencies and authorized by GDRC as part of land management activities. No recreational trapping on GDRC lands. 19. Permits: Have all of the appropriate permits been secured or applied for? Examples: Water Resources Department for water rights, Division of State Lands for fill-removal or wetlands projects.
