to the former Klamath Forest. In the end, seventy-seven percent of the tribe voted to withdraw, shrinking the reservation down from 762,000 acres (308,000 ha) to 145,000 acres (57,000 ha). Two purchases by the US government - the first in 1963 of about and the second in 1973 of about - were combined with portions of three other national forests to form the Winema National Forest. Members of the Klamath tribe reserve specific rights of hunting, fishing, trapping, and gathering of forest materials on former reservation land within the Winema National Forest. Flora and fauna There are over 300 species of wildlife and fish that occur in this region. Flora There are about 925 species of documented vascular plants in the Fremont National Forest. The vascular plants provide food and habitat for mammals, fish, insects and mankind. Management to ensure that all native species maintain healthy populations is a focus of the Forest Service. There are numerous wildflowers and rare species of plants found in the forest. Fauna Game animals include elk, pronghorn and mule deer. There are several types of trout in the region's streams and lakes, and a few lakes also support largemouth bass, a warm-water fish. Canada geese, mallards and whistling swans are frequently seen waterfowl. Porcupines, badgers and coyotes frequently roam within this forest. Black bears, cougars and bobcats are also present in smaller populations.
