| An
eager and talented group of scientists, educators and nature
enthusiasts visited Drift Creek Camp, Lincoln City, Oregon, on May
23-24 to identify as many organisms as possible within a 24-hour period
of time. We were blessed with good weather and a team of experts in
native plants, birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles, mushrooms, fish,
mammals and photography and some inquisitive children. Over 200 species
were identified including the marbled murrelet and western toad. Many of these expert naturalists plan to return to DCC during other seasons to continue developing an inventory of the biodiversity in this late succession coastal rainforest ecosystem in the Siuslaw National Forest. We plan to use the information gathered and knowledge gained to enhance, enrich and expand the opportunities for guests of DCC to appreciate, respect and care for nature. You can view the results in a searchable database or static table with links to photographs. Please use these links to learn more about this effort. |
