Description

Abstract: To show access areas supported by, or associated with, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Access and Habitat Program. For more details see: https://myodfw.com/articles/hunting-private-lands-access-habitat-program; http://www.dfw.state.or.us/lands/AH/;

Purpose: Property boundaries for private lands under contract with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Access and Habitat Program (Type = AH Project) or other access areas being promoted - Open Fields - Columbia Basin, Open Fields - Willamette Valley, Hancock Forest Management Lands. In 1993, the Oregon Legislature created the Access and Habitat Program. The new law created an incentive-based program to improve public hunting access and wildlife habitat on private lands in Oregon. Private lands accounts for just over half of Oregon’s land base and include farms, range lands, wetlands, forests and stream corridors. To improve landowner-hunter relations and engage landowners in the conservation of fish and wildlife, the Oregon Legislature created the Access & Habitat (A&H) Program in 1993. The law established a funding mechanism to provide grants to private landowners, timber and agriculture corporations, sportsmen groups, natural resource agencies, and others for projects designed to increase public hunting access to private lands and/or improve wildlife habitat.
