After a two year collaborative process with partners in the watershed, our strategic action planning process is complete! Read the plan here. Efforts to restore aquatic habitat and recover the watershed’s threatened fish species are the foundation of WATERSHED 2040, the Hood River Basin Partnership Strategic Action Plan. The plan encompasses an ambitious scope of work for restoring fish habitat, streamflow, and water quality over the next 20 years. Much of this work will also strengthen the resiliency of our community and economy, as climate change continues to impact streamflow, water temperature, and aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The Action Plan was developed over a two year process by the Hood River Basin Partnership, which consists of nine core members, including the Hood River Watershed Group, the Hood River Soil and Water Conservation District, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, East Fork Irrigation District, Middle Fork Irrigation District, Farmers Irrigation District, the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. We’re excited to begin work on this plan, and hope to engage the community in the process. Stay tuned for ways to get involved.
