Over several years a number of these have been constructed. We are looking for people to travel to these fences, gps their perimeter and give us some basic feedback on fence condition. Ideally volunteers would have a smart phone that they could use to navigate to the fence location and gps the fence perimeter with. We will show the volunteer how to use their smart phones to accomplish these tasks. Volunteers will also need to have a vehicle capable of driving on gravel roads. This is an excellent opportunity to help us in our ongoing restoration efforts, to explore the Ochoco National Forest and the Crooked River National Grassland and to see places off the beaten path.

Volunteers would need to locate places on the Forest where photos have been taken before and follow protocol for taking new photographs.
