WILSONVILLE WILDLIFE MONITORING

KEY SERVICES:

• Wildlife & Vegetation Monitoring

• Study & Framework Design

We have been monitoring wildlife activity before and after the construction of the Kinsman Road extension using trail cameras for the City of Wilsonville. Our goal is to explore the differences between pre- and post-construction data to inform an understanding of how effective the crossing structures have been in maintaining the presence, persistence, and movement capabilities of local wildlife. This project also includes the continuation of a long term wildlife monitoring project started in 2009 by Leslie Bliss-Ketchum under Boeckman Bridge using sand tracking. This method documents wildlife movement through an underpass built for wildlife as they pass under a high traffic road through important wetland habitat.
