The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council seeks to restore important habitat for native fish and wildlife.  Our projects, including wetland and riparian restoration, in-stream habitat enhancement and fish passage improvements, are selected based on the priorities developed in watershed assessments, action plans and other technical resources (see Priorities for more information).

Projects are organized by watershed, per the map below.  Projects are listed in chronological order - the most recent projects are shown at the top of the lists.

All projects are also listed in the Project Database.  Click here to view the database.
