HOOD RIVER WATERSHED GROUP

The Hood River Watershed Group's purpose is to sustain and improve the Hood River Watershed through education, cooperation, and stewardship... Since its inception, the Hood River Watershed Group has worked to sustain and improve the 339 square mile Hood River Watershed through community education and cooperative projects in water conservation and habitat restoration. These projects have been informed by careful assessment, monitoring, and planning efforts and forged through diverse partnerships. Funding for these projects has brought more than $25 million into the Watershed, which has benefited the local economy, fish populations, and people alike. Project funding has been provided by the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, Bonneville Power Administration, Oregon Water Resources Department, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. We also rely upon support from local irrigation districts, the Forest Service, and other sources.
