habitat improvement project sites on the Klickitat River and Swale Creek. These
sites are on Klickitat Wildlife Area property.

Oak Habitat Management: Biologist Anderson met with Olympia and Vancouver
staff to develop a plan for oak habitat improvement in Klickitat County. The
Klickitat Wildlife Area and surrounding ownerships were chosen as an initial
project area for an oak improvement project. Past fire suppression has caused
an increase in conifer growth and thus increased competition with oak habitat.
2008 will be used primarily for planning and mapping potential project areas
with the goal of on the ground oak/conifer habitat improvement starting in 2009.
Sea Lions: Wildlife Program Manager Jonker attended the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and Committee meetings where the Council discussed several interim year funding proposals including 2 proposals submitted by Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission for sea lion related work (e.g., hazing, capture, marking, etc.).
