BLM OR-WA: Restoration and Conservation Projects, Eugene District Oregon: An estimated 99 percent of wet and upland prairies have been lost in the Willamette Valley from pre-settlement times. Consequently, many of the plant and animal species associated with these habitats have become threatened or endangered. Some of these rare habitats are protected and currently managed by the BLM. The BLM West Eugene Wetlands support populations of several US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed species, including the endangered Fender s blue butterfly, Bradshaw s lomatium, and Willamette daisy; and threatened Kincaid s lupine and Nelson s checkermallow. In 2005 the BLM developed a long term (10 year) land management implementation schedule for its parcels within the West Eugene Wetlands project area. This 10 year Environmental Assessment Schedule (EA) outlines targets for habitat conditions and provides guidance on the priority of work for maintenance, enhancement, and restoration projects. The objective of this program is to implement a variety of projects, including but not limited to, work involving BLM Special Status Species projects, native seed and plant projects, habitat restoration projects, invasive plant projects, and education and outreach projects.
