I. INTRODUCTION The Forest Service and the Cooperator have established this agreement to help one another accomplish the mutually beneficial objective of locating rare plant populations where they may occur on Cooperator's land, so that this information may be used in the design of mutually beneficial projects as described below. II. MUTUAL BENEFITS Both the Forest Service and the Cooperator own and manage lands in the Ashland Creek Watershed. The watershed is managed by both parties as the source of Ashland's water supply. Natural fuels buildup in the watershed makes the potential for wildfires high and control difficult. Both parties have undertaken fuels reduction projects and construction of fue1breaks in strategic parts of the watershed. Both parties are currently planning further fuels reduction and forest canopy density management projects as well as maintenance of existing fuel breaks. The efforts of both parties mutually enhance the effectiveness of efforts done by the other party. Forest Service policy is to know the environmental effects of proposed actions and, when feasible, to maintain or enhance the viability of rare plant populations. The Cooperator wishes to have the same knowledge of environmental effects, and to have information about rare plant populations on their land in order to plan and implement their wildfire prevention projects in an environmentally responsible manner. The Forest Service believes knowledge of rare plant populations on Cooperator's land will allow more effective management of the viability of rare plant populations in the watershed as a whole. III. THE FOREST SERVICE SHALL: 1. Bill the Cooperator prior to commencement of work for deposits sufficient to cover the estimated costs, including overhead, for the specific payment period. Billings shall be sent to: Keith Woodley, Chief, City of Ashland Fire Dept., 455 Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland, OR 97520. 2. Use these funds only for the purpose of performing the work necessary and related to the rare plant survey project as agreed upon. 3.

Be responsible for the supervision and the standards of workmanship for the rare plant survey project. 5. Support the project by re-arranging earlier Forest Service personnel work schedules in order to accomplish the work. 6. Provide 1. Forest Service Botanist, and possibly assistants, to do the rare plant survey, 2. a written report and map with findings and management recommendations, and 3. all transportation, supplies, etc. necessary to accomplish the survey. IV. THE COOPERATOR SHALL: 1. Meet with the Forest Service to agree upon the specific work to be done. 2.
