West Fork Environmental staff worked with members of Normandeau & Associates to measure stream flow and characterize physical habitat conditions across 6 geomorphic reaches of the Chehalis and South Fork Chehalis Rivers.

Biologists from West Fork Environmental conducted instantaneous stream discharge measurements at 28 sites on 12 major tributaries within the Queets Watershed, including the Queets and Clearwater Rivers

West Fork Environmental has done extensive habitat and animal surveys for forestry clients throughout Skamania and Klickitat Counties in Washington between 2008 and 2015 for the threatened western gray squirrel and other squirrel species. 

West Fork Environmental is currently engaged in a project using wildlife cameras to document the presence of Humboldt marten in managed forest stands in the Central Coast Range of Oregon

West Fork Environmental installed four PIT tag antennas in Ohop Creek, near Eatonville, WA, to collect data leading to a better understanding of the relative importance and role of the newly  restored reach on movement and residence patterns of juvenile coho within the upper system. 

West Fork Environmental provided field crews to Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) in support of fisheries research and monitoring in the Cedar River Municipal Watershed for six years. Our field support for spawning ground surveys covered multiple species and locations in the watershed including kokanee salmon, Chinook and coho salmon, bull trout and pygmy whitefish.

West Fork Environmental assessed the quality and stage-related connectivity and suitability of redband trout spawning habitat within a reach of the Spokane River where normal sediment transport processes have been altered by dams and impoundments over the past century. 

West Fork annually conducts surveys for the presence/absence of fish for its forestry clients to verify regulatory stream typing prior to timber harvest. Over the past ten years we have conducted over 3,700 protocol stream surveys for Washington clients alone to determine physical barriers to fish movement, resulting in a large number of changes to portions of the Washington Department of Natural Resources hydro-layer.
