The Nature ConservancyB次元官网网址檚 summer conservation covenant monitoring turned up some interesting species in Highlands private lands.
Among the animals found in the Coastal Douglas fir forests were an olive-sided flycatcher, the populations of which have declined by 68 per cent in the past 30 years. Also, a pocket of the extremely rare Aspen-Slough Sedge ecosystem was discovered on one of the covenants. This nutrient rich ecosystem occurs in swamps that are tolerant of seasonal flooding and a high water table.
