After nearly a decade of contentious negotiations, farmers, tribes, conservationists and politicians gathered on February 18 to sign theKlamath Basin Restoration Agreement, paving the way to remove the four mainstem Klamath River dams by 2020. The dams have blocked migration and caused toxic algae blooms and deadly fish pathogens, decimating native salmon and steelhead populations. Removal will open 350 miles of habitat in California and Oregon in a river system that used to be among the most productive for salmon.

Deschutes Restoration Outreach Project (or DROP):
Restoring the Deschutes River Basin One DROP and One PERSON at a time
Overview:
The Deschutes Restoration Outreach Project brings conservation of the Deschutes River Basin into our community to build a growing effort of stewardship for our shared natural resources. A single drop of water in a pool creates ripples that are far reaching and a metaphor for our daily interactions with our ecosystem. We all know that water drops add up to be streams, rivers, and oceans, which create and provide the habitat for our fisheries and for our community. It is the purpose of this program to teach methods that anyone can take into their daily lives to cause the same ripple effect throughout their community through stewardship and active engagement.

Are you a hunter who wants to make sure that winter grazing areas for pronghorn, mule deer, and elk are protected? Are you an angler who wants to make sure that energy and mining concerns that are popping up all over our landscape don't destroy our vital streams and rivers where wild trout, steelhead and salmon spawn? You can find out more information regarding what Trout Unlimited as a national organization is doing to work cooperatively with businesses, industries and private landowners to make sure our beautiful country is maintained for future generations of anglers and hunters. It is up to us to act responsibly and make sure its there for them to enjoy as much as we have, otherwise its a legacy we are leaving them of "I remember when this was..." instead of "Look at what we did to make sure you could still enjoy this".
