Support legislation for barrier free migration

Sharing our habitat with wildlife is critical for the survival of migratory species like mule deer. Populations of two local herds are at 40% and 60% of what is needed for their continued survival. They are in our neighborhoods because they are stranded, and without migration, they will not thrive. Send these postcards to a […]

Their habitat is being fragmented and their ability to move between summer and winter ranges is impeded by growing traffic volume, unregulated recreation 24/7 in the Deschutes National Forest and development of corridors and winter range needed for their […]

This is more difficult in summer months when there are thousands of vehicles traveling on Highway 97.  In Deschutes county, this is an historic migratory corridor. Deer cross the highway and feeder roads to reach summer range in the Cascades […]

Reasons for Leaving Babies in the Wild Untouched

Summer – especially in May and June –   brings mule deer, fawns and the babies of other species into our yards and in our recreation areas.

Deer Crossing the Deschutes River

Deer need water, and they need a buffer between them and human disturbance. When a deer sights a human, it stresses at 200 meters and flees. This can cause many deer to permanently abandon much needed usable habitat.  As wildlife habitat continues to degrade and fragment due to human disturbance, deer are having difficulty surviving.  The […]
