Current SIHAB projects include The Sauvie Island/Multnomah Channel Conservation Resource Guide The Sauvie Island/Multnomah Channel Conservation Resource Guide has 100+ pages of information on plants, animals, habitats, soil, hydrology, etc. And many ideas for improving habitats and conditions for wildlife on the island and in the Multnomah Channel Bottomlands. It was a joint project of the Sauvie Island Habitat Partnership, the West Multnomah Conservation District, the Scappoose Bay Watershed Council. Download here:.
Sauvie Pond Project. Experts discuss how to create dragonfly habitat on Sauvie ponds.
10 ponds on private land have been targeted for habitat restoration by SIHAB. Turtle, amphibian egg mass and aquatic invertebrate surveys have been done on each pond, as well as assessment of current aquatic, riparian and upland plants. A team of technical experts visited each of the ponds in summer 2013 and made recommendations on how to improve the habitat for a variety of species. We’ll be implementating the recommendations over the next few years. Partners: WMSWCD, ODFW, OSU Sea Grant, Xerces Society, NRCS, Sauvie Island Academy., Private landowners. Sauvie Prairie Project. Students from Sauvie Island Academy planted wildflowers on Oak Island Meadow wildflowers are being propagated by SIHAB for grassland restoration on three sites on Oregon State Parks and ODFW land on the island. Some planting was done in Spring 2012 and a larger planting was done in Fall 2013.

At this point, we are experimenting with small plots to see which plants thrive with minimal care. Students from Sauvie Island Academy assisted with planting and will be monitoring to see how plants hold up to cattle and goose grazing and management practices. Partners: Oregon State Parks, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Scappoose Bay Watershed Council and Sauvie Island Academy. Sauvie Osprey Project Ospreys have made a great comeback on Sauvie. As they run out of ideal nesting sites, some built have attemped to build nests on power poles. This isn’t good for them, since they can get electrocuted, or for PGE and Sauvie Residents, since it can cause power outages. In summer 2012, SIHAB GPS’ed and monitored osprey nests on parts of the island that have power poles to see at what intervals ospreys were nesting.
We then helped secure landowner permission so that PGE could erect five new nesting platforms in appropriate locations. Monitoring will continue in subsequent years. Partners: PGE, Audubon Society of Portland and ODFW. West Multnomah Conservation District supplied funds to build 11 turtle basking for Sauvie ponds and canals. Sauvie Turtle Project Western painted turtles live in the canals, ponds and lakes on the island. SIHAB conducted turtle surveys on non-ODFW lands on the island in 2102 with a grant from WMSWCD and the help of numerous volunteers.
ODFW lands were not included in this project since they had been previously surveyed. In summer 2013, SIHAB constructed and placed 11 turtle basking rafts around the island.

Partners: WMSCD and Sauvie Island Drainage Improvement Co. WMSWCD provided funding. Sauvie Plant List Project Sauvie Island has been a “stomping ground” for botanists since the 1800s, and is well represented in Oregon herbariums. Using these records, as well as lists developed by credentialed botanists for ODFW and Oregon State Parks lands, SIHAB is assembling a list of plants that historically and currently occur/red on the island. The list can be used by agencies, private contractors and landowners involved in habitat restoration. Partners: The Wetlands Conservancy, Oregon Flora Project, PSU Institute for Natural Resources, WMSWCD Sauvie Aquatic Plant Surveys. Volunteer botanists from the Native Plant Society of Oregon pulled on waders and searched Sauvie ponds and wetlands for rare aquatic plants.
