In response to proposed changes at Lord Hill Regional Park (LHRP), Pilchuck Audubon Society (PAS) implemented avian monitoring to better understand the importance of this large acreage park to birds.I helped establish the monitoring effort and appreciate being a part of the park planning. I know mountain biking (MB) is a beloved outdoor sport here in the NW but, if needed, PAS advocates that any new MB facilities be placed in areas not sensitive to birds. We also want our advocacy to be based in real/current data.Through our monitoring we discovered that the abundance & diversity of birds in LHRP exceeded our expectations, including species dependent upon large patches of mixed  forest habitat. All users of public lands leave some impact but one of our concerns was planned loss of habitat at LHRP to develop the space for MB use and the introduction of fast moving vehicles (some MB users) that can impact breeding success. Wildlife + people... looking for healthy solutions for both.
