An ecological study of small forest mammals was conducted
from 1964 to 1970. The objectives were to obtain chronological information

Stands of brush and tree species of low commercial value dominate many potentially productive forest lands in western Oregon.

Site...
This note was prepared to answer the questions most of ten asked by foresters concerned about the porcupine and its control. The literature was reviewed for information on the animal's life history and the extent of damage in other areas. Direct field work reported was done primarily near Medford, Oregon,...
