Instream Habitat Restoration

Streamside Habitat Restoration

Water Quality Improvement

< >

In The Stream

Native fish thrive in streams that have complex habitat: abundant gravel beds, deep pools, side channels, easily accessed floodplains, and sufficient stream flow. We work with landowners to build and sustain the natural formation of these conditions in rivers and streams of all sizes.

On The Land

A stream’s health is dependent on the condition of the lands that drain to it. We engage land owners and managers throughout the middle and upper Rogue Basin to encourage healthy stream bank forests, limit agricultural runoff, and restore natural stream flows. These activities lead to cleaner and cooler water, an improvement for salmon and drinking water supplies.

In The Community

All residents have an effect on the health of the Rogue River and its tributaries. We engage community members so that they understand how a healthy Rogue River enhances our lives and supports our communities.
