The Conservation Research Program at the Institute for Applied Ecology conducts monitoring and research projects throughout Oregon and Washington. These 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,

• 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.
