About this file
This is an exhibit document supporting a botanical field survey contract opportunity with the Umatilla National Forest, North Fork John Day Ranger District in Oregon. The file lists 54 targeted culturally significant plants for the 54 North Fuels Reduction and Huckleberry Restoration Project. The exhibit provides botanical data essential for survey work, including common names, scientific nomenclature, habitat preferences, distribution patterns within the watershed, seasonal characteristics, and ecological associations for species ranging from spring ephemerals like yellow avalanche-lily and lanceleaf spring beauty to perennial shrubs and trees such as serviceberry, hawthorn, and chokecherry. The plants listed include root vegetables and bulbs of cultural significance (wild onion, camas, bitterroot, various biscuitroots), berries important to wildlife (huckleberries, currants, gooseberries, raspberries), and other traditionally utilized species (tobacco root, sweetgrass, wapato). Distribution information indicates species occurrence across multiple habitat types including grasslands, ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests, riparian areas, wet meadows, and rocky slopes throughout the project area.
The document serves as the botanical reference guide for field survey work within proposed vegetation management units. This exhibit does not contain pricing information, contract terms, bid deadlines, set-asides, or incumbent details; rather, it functions as a technical specification document for contractors to understand the scope of plant species requiring documentation and botanical assessment during the survey phase of the fuels reduction and restoration project.
