LAKEVIEW — A fishery biologist for Fremont-Winema National Forests received the 2008 U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Watershed/Aquatic Program Professional Excellence Award.
Dave Hogen was recognized for his exemplary professionalism and leadership in developing and sustaining an effective, well-rounded and strategic fisheries program, according to press release from the Fremont-Winema.
For the past three years, Hogen has managed the fisheries program and oversees three permanent and three temporary employees. The program focuses on stream and lake rehabilitation, environmental education and providing guidance on the effects of forest management activities on fish habitat.
“Dave’s energy, professionalism, and forward-thinking approach have been a tremendous asset to our forest,” said Carolyn Wisdom, natural resource staff officer for the Fremont-Winema National Forests. “His technical understanding and his ability to bring creative people together to develop effective partnerships has fostered a very strong fisheries program with limited funding.”
A core emphasis of the program is developing partnerships. Hogen has made effective use of the Wyden Authority, which allows the Fremont-Winema National Forests to partner with neighboring landowners.
Currently, he is actively involved in identifying partnership opportunities and providing technical fisheries advice on more than 20 projects, including the Upper Sycan Watershed Comprehensive Fish Passage, Drews Creek Highway Trust Funds for Aquatic Passage and Crane Creek Headgate projects.
Hogen also worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to complete several technical documents describing the potential effects of livestock grazing on fishes listed under the Endangered Species Act.
