Abstract
Western land development initiatives by the federal government led to a fragmented ownership in much of western Oregon. A project to examine the feasibility of voluntary land exchanges between public and private owners to increase ecological health of fish and other species in Umpqua Basin while maintaining timber supply has been initiated. A landscape model has been developed to quantitatively link geomorphic and management related variables to species habitat suitability so that solutions can be systematically assessed. A pilot study to develop and test the methodology has been completed and data compilation is in the final stages for the first 675,000 acre (2700 sq. km) analysis unit.
