Lowell Suring Retires from WFW
Lowell Suring retired this winter. Lowell was a Wildlife Biologist with our WFW Wildlife Ecology Unit.
Lowell began Federal employment in 1978 and joined the Forest Service in 1980, serving at Forest, Regional and National levels. That makes over 30 years with the Federal government and over 28 years with the Forest Service. This followed three years with the State of New York. He worked in a variety of habitats from the temperate rainforests of Alaska to the grasslands of the Great Basin. Lowell has demonstrated dedication, hard work, and steady, dependable service to his profession and the Forest Service. He works quietly and often in the background, and is under-recognized for his valuable contributions to wildlife management. Lowell practiced the art and science of wildlife management with a high level of integrity, honesty, and compassion that made him a highly sought after team member and mentor. In addition to all of this, he is one of the nicest people that one could ever hope to encounter.
Lowell is currently working for Northern Ecologic L.L.C. in Boise, ID.
You can congratulate Lowell on his retirement and new adventures at Lowell@northern-ecologic.com.

FS implementation teams are working on each of these goals, to:
- Build knowledge, skills, and expertise
- Develop experience, and partnerships

A related, interesting report:
European Commission (EC) - Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity
EC - The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity Report (TEEB) - Phase 1 report: The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB)
Common messages for developing the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity:
- rethink today’s subsidies to reflect tomorrow’s priorities;
- reward currently unrecognized ecosystem services and make sure that the costs of ecosystem damage are accounted for, by creating new markets and promoting appropriate policy instruments;
- share the benefits of conservation;
- measure the costs and benefits of ecosystem services

"First" Eagle Egg of the Season
Take a virtual trip to the Deschutes National Forest!
A photo of the first egg (with mom) on the nest/eagle cam..... This is exciting!
Recall last year, we were getting over 20,000 hits a day on this site...If the egg hatches, we will dwarf last year's figures.
National Symbol, National Forests, Live Cam, Kids in schools watching daily = a very positive/educational experience.
This is also a form of accessibility for our visitors who can't hike on trails. We bring the forest and ecosystems to them. Thanks to our partner Marcia Langhorst.

The Nature Conservancy - Ecoregional Portfolio Data Publically Available
Excerpt from TNC/LandScope Newsletter - April
"One challenge to pursuing strategic land protection is the lack of a broader picture of how and where land trusts, agencies, and other conservation groups are focusing their attention. The result of rigorous expert analysis, The Nature Conservancy’s Ecoregional Portfolio identifies high priority lands and waters for conserving biodiversity, considering all representative ecosystems and at-risk species within each of the country’s ecoregions. And now, for the first time, The Nature Conservancy is sharing a comprehensive and publicly accessible version of its portfolio data through LandScope America. Learn about the data, view it in the LandScope map viewer, and discover how it can help inform your own conservation priorities, plans, and on-the-ground actions."
"LandScope America is a collaborative project of NatureServe and the National Geographic Society to develop a new online resource for the land-protection community and the public. LandScope America brings together maps, data, photography and information about our environment and presents them in dynamic and accessible formats."
Global Climate Change and Effects on Birds and Trees
Forest Service's Northern Research Station in Delaware, Ohio, recently launched an updated, user-friendly version of their Global Climate Change Atlas that shows possible range changes for eastern tree and bird species as affected by the three most commonly used global climate change scenarios.

Matthews, S.N., L. R. Iverson, A.M. Prasad, A. M., and M.P. Peters. 2007-ongoing. A Climate Change Atlas for 147 Bird Species of the Eastern United States [database]. http://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/atlas/bird, Northern Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Delaware, Ohio.
Abstract
We assess the current status and potential future status following climate change, of 147 bird species in the eastern United States. We use Breeding Bird Survey data with 11 environmental variables and 88 tree species potential change data (see companion site http://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/atlas/tree) to generate models of current suitable habitat for each species. We then change the climate according to three climate models (HADCM3, PCM & GFDL - see 3-GCMs for details) and two emissions scenarios (A1FI (Hi) = little conservation efforts to mitigate CO2 emissions, B1 (Lo) =significant conservation effort), and model the potential future species habitats. These two emissions scenarios bracket most of the emission futures as outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s evaluation of emission scenarios (Nakicenovic et al. 2000), and end the 21st century at roughly double (550 ppm-B1) and triple (970 ppm-A1fi) the pre-industrial levels for CO2.
Details on the Random Forest Regression Model methodology can be found in Prasad et al. 2006, and details on the output generation can be found in Iverson, L.R. et al. (in press). (see "Citations").

The Making Tracks awards are presented annually at the National Wild Turkey Federation's annual Convention and Sport Show to people and projects that significantly improve habitat for the wild turkey and other species and accomplish the mission of the National Wild Turkey Federation. There are four award categories.
The Habitat Management Projects category is a single-year award for projects that benefit the wild turkey. The District Ranger, Beth LeMaster, of the Enoree Ranger District of the Sumter National Forest in Whitmire, S.C., received the Group Habitat Project award on behalf of her District, for various land management practices that created and improved habitat for Bobwhite Quail, several species of sparrows and other birds.

Senate Bill Introduced to Conserve Rapidly Disappearing Migratory Birds
(Excerpt from Media Release)
Contact: Steve Holmer, American Bird Conservancy, 202-234-7181, ext. 216 sholmer@abcbirds.org, www.abcbirds.org
“The Senate bill, S. 690, reauthorizes the existing Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (NMBCA), but at significantly higher levels, to meet the growing needs of our migrants, many of which are in rapid decline. Representative Ron Kind (D-WI) plans to introduce similar legislation in the House of Representatives. The legislation was introduced following the release of U.S. State of the Birds, the most comprehensive assessment to date on the status of bird populations. The report found that over 250 American bird species are in decline or facing severe threats.”

Meeting OPM Qualifications for 0401 Natural Resources Management Series
A televised broadcast of the Natural Resources Distance Learning Consortium (NRDLC) describing how employees may meet education qualification standards for OPM 0401 Natural Resources Management series is available online.
Broad cast link
This broadcast was co-hosted by BLM and FS and broadcast live through NPS and F&WS internal networks. The Consortium is currently comprised of ten, nationally ranked universities across the nation.
In consultation with your supervisor and the determination that the knowledge obtained through these education courses is in the public interest, government funds may be used to pay tuition costs and also provide official work time to take these courses. Typical single course tuition (three academic credits) ranges from approximately $600.00 for an undergraduate course to $1,400.00 for a graduate level course. Academic courses delivered through distance learning technologies are delivered at any time, at any location having access to the internet. Distance learning courses avoid typical travel costs of about $1,600.00 per week (air fare, lodging & meals), but most importantly time away from job and family.
Individuals desiring to meet OPM qualification standards for positions classified in the 0401 series must either A: obtain an academic degree in agriculture, biology, natural resources management.... or B: complete 24 academic semester credits equivalent to major field of study. Employees are urged to consult directly with a qualified human resources liaison to determine in advance that the courses you want to take will meet OPM qualification standards for the 0401 series.
For detailed information, please examine the Consortium website
