The Conservation Research Program at IAE conducts applied research projects to improve management of habitats throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Some of our projects include:

• Monitoring rare, endangered and sensitive species in a variety of habitats,

• Experiments on methods, including using fire, herbicides, and mowing, to restore native habitats,

• Testing the effects of climate change on endangered species,
• Rare plant reintroduction using both seeds and greenhouse-grown transplants,

• Using long-term demographic studies to make predictions on population trajectories,

• Writing conservation and monitoring plans, and

• Conducting surveys for rare plant species.
