These wildlife openings provide hunting opportunities for EBCI citizens where turkey and grouse are known to breed.
Adaptive Decision for 2023
Management or Methodological Changes: We obtained the America the Beautiful Challenge grant, which will help us in large landscape management objectives. We wish to develop a large-scale planning effort to benefit species impacted by changes to the landscape and to climate. Develop a cohesive management strategy for all species within EBCI boundaries. Work more with BIA Fire for burn scheduling for wildlife plots and other areas. Reengage with forest management planning. Get involved with more private landowners to provide land management information. Work with landscape modeling across jurisdictions for management applications. Plan native pollinator plot plantings and future. Riparian management plans- focusing on rivercane restoration. Continue efforts to apply prescriptions for spruce-fir restoration. Help implement an ecological forest- beyond the horticultural buzz words of permaculture or regenerative practices. Determine the role and importance of Rivercane ( Arundinaria gigantea ) to various species, both terrestrial and aquatic, as well as to the larger habitat. Model & implement cross-jurisdictional Adaptive Management Plans. Pursue implementation of hellbender habitat, concrete slabs, into Tribal waters. Pursue implementation of bear-proof trash cans. Social & Cultural Changes: Provide information to landowners about managing habitats for specific purposes or species as desired.
