SUMMARY:Stream Sampling on Whychus Creek
DESCRIPTION:Sampling aquatic insects\, including mayflies and stoneflies\, provides important insights into the health of Whychus Creek. Volunteers meet at Creekside Park in Sisters for a sampling training\, then\, in teams of two to four\, use nets to collect aquatic insect samples from the stream at sites along Whychus. This event is a great opportunity to learn about habitat restoration on Whychus Creek for salmon and steelhead\, spend a day along less-visited reaches of the creek\, and contribute to knowledge about how restoration actions are changing stream conditions. \nUDWC will host our 14th annual Stream Sampling on Whychus Creek event on August 15th and 16th\, 2024! This will be our 14th consecutive year collecting aquatic insect (macroinvertebrate) samples to learn about how physical habitat conditions for native trout and salmon and other aquatic organisms are changing alongside stream flow and stream habitat restoration work by UDWC and our partners. \n2024 sample collection will focus on the following reaches of Whychus Creek: \n\nRecently restored reaches at Deschutes Land Trust’s Rimrock Ranch Preserve\, and at Creekside Park in Sisters;\nOlder restoration sites including Whychus Canyon Preserve Phase 1\, Camp Polk Meadow Preserve upstream reaches\, and Whychus Floodplain on National Forest lands upstream of Sisters);\nSamples from unrestored\, “control” reaches at Whychus Canyon Preserve; and\nSamples from Alder Springs and upstream of USFS Road 6360\, both affected by stream flow restoration but where no habitat restoration has occurred.\n\nWe will collect 18 samples over two days with restoration partners and community volunteers\, working in teams of 2-4. You can register for one day or both at the links below: \nThursday\, August 15th REGISTER \nFriday\, August 16th REGISTER

SUMMARY:2024 Annual Deschutes River Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council is hosting the 28th annual Deschutes River Cleanup! Cleanup activities will take place at six different sites on the Deschutes River where volunteers will help pull invasive weeds and remove litter from the river and its streambanks. The cleanup sites are Farewell Bend Park\, First Street Trail\, La Pine State Park\, Riverbend Park\, Sunriver\, and Tumalo State Park. \nYou will register for a specific site when you sign up. While much of the work will take place along the streambanks\, we are excited to once again have several scuba divers from Central Oregon Diving and Deschutes County Search and Rescue join us this year! We are seeking fifty paddlers to support our divers on the water in the Old Mill District during the cleanup. \nOne week prior to the event\, you will receive an email with specific site details and meeting logistics. On the morning of the cleanup\, you will meet your volunteer host at 9:00 am at the site you selected. Please double-check your email to make sure you are going to the correct cleanup location. We encourage all volunteers to come prepared with sturdy shoes\, a hat and sun protection\, gloves\, a water bottle\, and snacks. \nFor all volunteers who register for Farewell Bend and Riverbend Park\, please meet your site host at the Farewell Bend shelter at 9:00 am. There will be a brief introduction and thank you to partners and sponsors prior to cleanup activities. If you registered as a paddler\, you will be partnered with a scuba diver to assist them on the water. You must bring a whistle\, PFD\, and a throwable safety device in order to participate on the water. \nThank you to our fabulous event sponsors: Bend Park and Recreation District\, Car Stickers\, The City of Bend\, Confluence Fly Shop\, Luno\, Mt. Bachelor/Sun Country Tours\, Qorvo\, REI\, SOLV Energy\, Tumalo Creek\, and Visit Bend! \nThe volunteer appreciation celebration will take place near Confluence Fly Shop in the afternoon following the cleanup from 3:00 – 5:00 pm. Wrap-up activities will include volunteer acknowledgment\, thank you to sponsors\, door prize giveaways\, beverages\, and food. What a wonderful way to celebrate a day of hard work and active stewardship! \nThe Deschutes River Cleanup is an opportunity for us to come together to steward the Deschutes River and its riparian areas. Recreation in and around the Deschutes River has led to significant impacts to the health of the river and in order to keep our river beautiful and protect water quality for fish and wildlife\, the Watershed Council coordinates the Deschutes River Cleanup every year. Thank you for your support as a river steward! \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Webcast: Geology and Natural History of the John Day River Basin
DESCRIPTION:The geology of the John Day basin is complex and records a rich history of changing environments including deep oceans\, subtropical rainforests\, temperate forests\, and sagebrush steppes. Volcanic and tectonic activity in the region not only built the land that we see today\, but also helps us to know the age of the rocks that the land is built from. The John Day River and its tributaries\, both current and ancestral\, have helped to expose many of these rocks and to even deposit some of them\, allowing us to learn and explore these stories. The John Day River basin is critical to our understanding of the past of the region which is preserved through a variety of public and private land. \nJoin us on April 3rd at 6pm as we welcome Nicholas Famoso\, Paleontology Program Manager for the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument\, to take us on a journey through the geologic and natural history of the John Day River basin. \nWe will be raffling off a copy of Oregon’s Ancient Forests: A Hiking Guide and a “Wild: The Oregon Way” t-shirt. Tickets are $5 and are an optional purchase below. Raffle tickets not only help us continue these Wednesday presentations but also support our work safeguarding Oregon’s wildlands\, wildlife\, and waters. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:2023 Lava Island Fish Rescue
DESCRIPTION:Sign Up for Your Time Slot HERE! \nEvery fall flows drop in the Upper Deschutes as water begins to be stored in Wickiup and Crane Prairie Reservoirs for irrigation use next summer. When this happens\, fish residing in the Lava Island side channel of the Deschutes become stranded from the main stem of the river. \nDRC is once again aiding irrigation district efforts to rescue fish by coordinating volunteers. Volunteers will collect fish from the Lava Island side channel and transport them in buckets to the mainstem of the Deschutes River. \nThe projected rescue dates this year will be October 14th-16th. There will be two time slots per day. The morning slots will be from 8 or 9 AM to 12 pm and the afternoon slot will be from 1 PM to 5 PM. \n***Please note\, dates are tentative and may change due to weather and dam operations. DRC will be in touch with all volunteers via text to provide updates*** \nThere will be three jobs throughout the day: \nNetting fish (must be experienced and bring waders and boots)\nCarrying bucketed fish to be counted (majority of the volunteers need)\nCounting/identifying fish (must be experienced identifying and handling fish)\nThe majority of volunteers will be helping run buckets from the capture site to the counting site. The buckets will weigh 35-40 pounds each. \nPlease bring a water bottle\, snacks\, hiking shoes\, hats\, sunscreen. We will provide coffee\, snacks\, pizza\, and water.

River and riparian cleanup activities will take place along the riparian areas of the Deschutes River at six different stewardship sites: La Pine State Park\, Meadow Camp Picnic Area\, Farewell Bend Park\, Riverbend Park\, First Street Rapids Trail\, and Tumalo State Park. We would like to thank our partners at Oregon State Parks and Leave No Trace for helping make this incredible day of stewardship possible! \nCommunity volunteers of all ages are invited to pull invasive weeds\, remove litter from the stream banks\, and dive instream to pull debris out of the river itself. Thanks to volunteers’ hard work last year\, we removed approximately 2\,600 pounds of garbage and weeds from the Deschutes River and its sensitive riparian areas! We hope you can join us for another great day of stewardship this summer. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Oregon's Water Strategy: Madras Regional Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In Oregon we have a plan for our water.  It is called the Integrated Water Resources Strategy (the Strategy).  The Strategy helps us understand what water we have available in Oregon and what we need for people\, plants\, animals\, and the land. It also has actions we can take to meet those needs. \nNow it’s time for that plan to be updated. The Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) and 13 other state agencies are working with Oregon’s Kitchen Table (OKT)\, a program at Portland State University. \nWe want to hear what you want to see in the update to Oregon’s water Strategy. Your input will help the state plan for the future to meet our water needs. We are hosting community conversations in different parts of the state. \nIf you are interested in attending one of these\, please register here. Walk-ins are welcome.  We will have food and supervised play for children. \nContact us at (503)725-5248 or info@oregonskitchentable.org if you have questions.
