Pocket gophers (Thomomy spp.) have an important effect on reforestation in the Pacific Northwest through damage to conifer reproduction. Damage is most serious east of the Cascade Range in Washington and Oregon and northeastern California. Damage also has been reported in northern Idaho. The purpose of this report is to review pocket gopher problems in the Northwest, summarize present knowledge of gopher biology, outline current control methods, and suggest future research needs.

On October 18, 2006, a workshop was held in Vancouver, WA, with the title "Managing for wildlife habitat in west-side production forests." The purpose of the workshop was to provide prescriptions and guidelines for people who manage west-side forests (those west of the Cascade Mountains' crest) primarily for wood production, but because of mandate or personal preference, want to integrate wildlife values. The audience included over 150 professionals from forest industry, consulting firms, and public and tribal forest and wildlife management agencies. This proceedings includes ten papers based on oral presentations at the workshop plus a synthesis paper summarizing workshop themes, discussions, and related information. Topics include a history of wildlife management research in the Pacific Northwest, elements of habitat and how to manage for them, the challenges of appropriately implementing ecosystem management, and economic implications to private forestland owners.
