Restoring Habitats in the Deschutes Basin
For more than 40 years, dams significantly altered the natural ecosystem in the Deschutes, cutting off native salmon and steelhead populations in the Upper Deschutes and changing temperatures in the Lower Deschutes. Today, we are working with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, scientists, and an active group of regional partners who make up the Fish Committee on a long-term vision to restore a healthy Deschutes Basin.

Mule deer and other wildlife rely on the Metolius Mule Deer Winter Range for food and shelter. We’re making sure they can thrive during the coldest months of the year.
