Description
Oregon white oak and native prairie have been identified as priority habitats for years by numerous federal, state, regional and local agencies due to steep declines in the amount of remaining habitat. However, the lack of spatially explicit data hampers efforts to model these priority habitats for conservation, restoration and management. To address these issues, the Oak Prairie Work Group (OPWG) formed shortly before the Intertwine Alliance’s Portland-Vancouver Regional Conservation Strategy was released in 2012 (www.regionalconservationstrategy.org).

Today the OPWG is active and well-established, comprised of more than 30 organizational partners who meet quarterly. A strategic action plan has been developed to guide the group’s work; and a spatial data subgroup has completed a regional oak location map. . The first and second oak map data releases occurred in 2016 and 2017, respectively. This third data release replaces these previous versions and includes over 290,000 point locations for Oregon white oak across the Oregon portion of the Regional Conservation Strategy planning area.
