This geospatial dataset is a habitat boundary layer containing Mt. Hood National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) B5 management areas for pine marten and pileated woodpecker that were retained as connectivity between watersheds when others were dissolved upon approval of the Northwest Forest Plan.
This dataset was developed as a result of Watershed Analysis across the Mt. Hood National Forest for implementation and monitoring of the Mt. Hood National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) and the Northwest Forest Plan. This analysis was performed to meet the intent of the Mt. Hood Reconciliation Document dated October 1995.
This dataset was derived from the MRM (management requirement pine marten) and MRW (management requirement pileated woodpecker) datasets digitized at 1:15840 for the Mt. Hood National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) in 1989. Individual Watershed Analyses recommended the selection of B5 pileated woodpecker/pine marten habitat areas to be retained. These Watershed Analyses recommended retention of certain B5 areas: Upper Sandy River, Oak Grove Fork Clackamas River, West Fork Hood River, and the White River. These Watershed Analyses recommended no retention of B5 areas: Salmon River, Zigzag River, Bull Run River, and East Fork Hood River.

Recommended B5 areas for retention were selected from the MRM and MRW coverages based on research of Watershed Analysis documents by Todd Parker, hydrologist (westside) and Rich Thurman, wildlife biologist (eastside). The selections were unioned. The "Acres" item was dropped. The item "martin_habitat" was changed to "marten_id". The item "habitat_number" was changed to "wdpckr_id".
