2013 Workshop on Blue Mountains Elk Nutrition and Habitat Models

The second and final Blue Mountains elk modeling workshop was held on April 30-May 1, 2013 in Pendleton, Oregon. Over 80 attendees listened to a variety of presentations about the final Blue Mountains nutrition and habitat use models. The last two presenters described example applications of the models in local landscapes – McCoy Creek and Mount Emily. The day ended with a guided discussion session led by Dr. Dana Sanchez, Assistant Professor at Oregon State University. Team members offered hands-on instruction in model applications in ArcGIS on the second day, with help from the model beta-testers who have been assisting the team by offering feedback based on their use of the models with their own data.
