My buddy Dave Moskowitz and the staff at DRA are working hard to make sure our wonderful treasure known as the Lower Deschutes River, is managed for the long haul.
The Deschutes River Alliance was formed when concerned stakeholders noted that there was no long term management plan for the river while observing substantial changes in the ecosystem after the cooling towers went into operation at Pelton Dam. The stream ecology was changing and no one was keeping track.
Check them out. Donate. Do what you can.
