UPPER DESCHUTES WATERSHED COUNCIL

The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council is committed to leading collaborative efforts that protect and restore the rivers and streams that make Central Oregon so unique. Healthy rivers and streams provide the clean water to support local economies, ecological diversity, recreational opportunities, and unparalleled natural beauty throughout the region... Since 1996, the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council (UDWC) has worked to protect and restore the 2,000,000-acre upper Deschutes River watershed through collaborative projects in watershed restoration, monitoring and community awareness. With local support from landowners, ranchers, environmental interests, local citizens, and representatives from local governments and agencies, we lead cooperative, grass-roots efforts to improve watershed conditions. This grass-roots approach ensures that a balance of affected and interested stakeholders is involved to craft effective management strategies for our watersheds.
