This BLM-OR/WA grant is offering funding to support the Aquatic and Riparian Monitoring Program (AREMP), which assesses the effectiveness of cumulative land management actions on watershed conditions. This grant is for the purpose of developing and refining a comprehensive watershed assessment model applicable across multiple jurisdictions within the Northern Spotted Owl’s range. The program integrates upslope and riparian data from GIS and remote sensing, alongside in-channel attributes from field sampling. Developed in cooperation with CESU Portland State University, the AREMP utilizes decision support models and statistical methodologies to estimate key parameters for watershed condition and trend analysis. The grant specifically supports the continuous improvement and reevaluation of these approaches to enhance the ability to track environmental conditions at various spatial scales.

| Description: | The Aquatic and Riparian Monitoring Program (AREMP) assesses the effectiveness of cumulative land management action on watershed condition across multiple jurisdictions within the range of the Northern Spotted Owl. Watersheds are evaluated using upslope and riparian information derived from Geographic Information System (GIS) and remotes sensing data, as well as inchannel attributes measured as part of a field sampling program. The AREMP uses both a decision support model framework, as well as statistical methodologies, developed, refined, and implemented in cooperation with CESU Portland State University to estimate several parameters used to assess watershed condition. Approaches and methodologies are reevaluated between 5 year reporting intervals to improve our ability to track condition and trend of watersheds at multiple spatial scales. |
