Assessing the Function and Ecology of a Beloved River System

September 3, 2019

$65 – $75

Part II: Deschutes River Flows 

Assessing the Function and Ecology of a Beloved River System

Please arrive at 6:00 pm to get seated.

Speakers: Jason Gritzner, USFS, and Jennifer O’Reilly, USFW.

The current condition of the Upper Deschutes River is a hot topic and processes are underway to develop solutions to improve the ecological function of the river.

Although the degraded condition of the river has been recognized for years, the recent ESA listing of the Oregon spotted frog has highlighted a broader aspect of the Deschutes River that includes the adjacent wetlands.

Our program presenters, Jason Gritzner and Jennifer O’Reilly, are local scientists working to assess the effects of water management on the Upper Deschutes River and wetland ecosystems.

Through partnerships in the basin, their focus is to elucidate how flows interface with and support the function of the Deschutes River and its adjacent riverine wetlands.

Registration Required. Suggested donation of $10/person; includes hors d’oeuvres and a drink.


Join the Coalition for the Deschutes for two programs related to the Upper Deschutes River and the Oregon Spotted Frog:

The first, on Monday, January 9 will address the legal aspects of the frog.
The second, on Tuesday January 24, will review the latest science about the frog and the river channel.
