Comment:
This proposal does not do a good job of presenting technical justification for the proposed work, though the goals are of value. The method section is vague and lacks description of how data will be analyzed and used. Monitoring and evaluation need to be better developed, and results-to-date of this long-term project should be presented for evaluation. For instance, the proposal lists the use of transect sampling and photo points as monitoring techniques, but does not describe how resulting data will be analyzed and interpreted. The biggest weakness with this proposal is that it has been implemented for fourteen years yet few results are described or reported; this brings success and accountability of the project into question. Many relevant studies on the Grande Ronde are not referenced or noted in the proposal. The proposal should give criteria for choosing areas for restoration.
