In the summer of 2017, SRWC and its project partners installed a network of groundwater piezometer wells and established aspen monitoring transects. This work is being done to aid in the understanding of how mountain meadows function over time, particularly with the effects of climate change. Interestingly enough, in the early 2000, beaver had moved into this mountain basin and colonized it for some time. For reasons unknown, they no longer persist here.
Monitoring for this property has been supported by SRWC’s Youth Environmental Summer Studies (YESS), a youth program that is in partnership with the Klamath National Forest, Quartz Valley Indian Reservation and Salmon River Restoration Council and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The project is located on the Klamath National Forest.
