Once again, TU Oregon will be cooperating with the Deschutes Basin Land Trust for our
2007 state conservation project. For the last 2 years, we have been working closely with the
Deschutes Basin Land Trust, local volunteers and many TU members in Oregon in the
Metolius River Basin. Habitat work and other projects in the basin's tributaries will hopefully
help pave the way for return of Salmon and Steelhead above the Round Butte Dam Project.
Dates are tentative at this time but will be in early June for the summer session and early
October for the fall session of the project.
Past sessions have included habitat restoration in Lake Creek and Wychuss Creek, work on
the new interpretive center constructed by the land trust, and constructed a field station for
the University of Oregon School of Environmental Sciences. These efforts are all part of the
"Back to Home Waters" project in cooperation with Portland General Electric.
With the reintroduction of Salmon and Steelhead planned for 2008, we are pleased to be
working in the basin again this year.
Stay tuned for more information!
