Restoring our rivers for over 25 years.

Join us in support of our rivers.

At the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, we seek to protect and restore the two-million-acre upper Deschutes River watershed through collaborative projects in habitat restoration, long-term monitoring, and watershed education.
