The wild pigs invading parts of Oregon not only look dangerous-they are. They are vicious predators that are also doing a lot of damage to the land. We’ll show you what’s being done to try and control them. The Oregon Field Guide team profiles how State and private property owners are trying to control this invasive species. Dr. Jason Dunham a USGS Aquatic Ecologist shows you a side of fresh water ecosystems rarely seen. His secret a stationary underwater camera. Scientist can study specimens in the lab, but could not see how they survive in the wild. The underwater camera helps researchers turn entire fresh water streams into laboratories. See up close shots of Rainbow Trout as well as spawning Steelhead Salmon. Standing water and thousands of hungry birds usually mean death to a farmer’s crops. See why a few people in Oregon are intentionally turning to a new form of farming. They’re growing wetlands. Willamette Valley farmer Mark Knaupp's Mud Slough wetland is such an example. Also called a wetland mitigation bank Mark has partnered with the The Wetlands Conservancy to help restore vital habitat.
