Deschutes River Conservancy’s Post

In Central Oregon, eight irrigation districts and the city of Prineville have committed to the Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan, a collaborative effort with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conserve water by piping canals, enhancing the Deschutes River habitat for wildlife, and adhering to strict future water release goals despite concerns about the pace of progress. “We do have a good path forward. There are a lot of projects that have already been completed and more on the way,” said Deschutes River Conservancy Program Director, Jim Bond. “There are a lot of very committed, smart and hard-working groups taking this on, and that gives me a lot of confidence.” #habitatconservationplan #centraloregon #river #Oregonspottedfrog #hcp #conservation #canalpiping #deschutesriver #irrigation #collaboration
