Singing (more like laughing) in the rain

This is a photo of one of the exclosures we worked in. With the era of fire suppression came and over abundance of coniferous trees in the arid forests of Eastern Oregon. They conifers crowded out deciduous trees like alders and willows, prime species for riparian zones (the area of land that surrounds a body of water). Coupled with grazing and the trapping of beavers, creeks are not doing so well. By cutting down a few conifers and fencing in the alders to protect them from grazing animals, Fouty is trying to reestablish alder populations, and we were helping her track the growth. In just one of the zones we measured, alder suckers had doubled since 2012 to over 2500 suckers.
