Katy Stuart - Western Gray Squirrel Resource Selection Related to Fire Fuel Management

This presentation was recorded as part of an East Cascades Oak Partnership quarterly meeting. The East Cascades Oak Partnership (ECOP) is a group of people who know and love the Columbia River Gorge and the East Cascades as a place with thriving wildlife, a vibrant economy, and incredible beauty. We are collaborating to leverage resources, share knowledge, and implement conservation strategies that will help protect vulnerable oak habitats, encouraging more sustainable human interactions with these important resources and improving outcomes for people, oaks and wildlife.
