Their needles fall like pinecones. They drift slowly down. Chloe FOURTH GRADE STUDENT, CASCADES ACADEMY The Upstream Project Ridgeview High School students helped restore willows to the banks of Whychus Creek. he Upper Deschutes Watershed Council seeks to protect and restore the rivers and streams throughout Central Oregon through collaborative projects in res- toration, monitoring, and education. Our education program, The Upstream Project, works with thousands of students, teachers, and parents every year to guide communi- ty members to develop a long-term sense of watershed stewardship. When integrated effectively, restoration, monitoring, and education create valuable lasting benefits for an entire watershed community. Everyone who inhabits the watershed, including fish, wildlife, private landowners, public land managers, children, parents, teachers, and civic leaders benefits from collaborative watershed outreach and restoration. Our watershed outreach goals are to connect community members to our watershed through hands-on stewardship projects. We have been coordinating on- the-ground restoration and outreach activities in the Whychus watershed since 2006 and, by engaging students, teachers, and community members in these ac- tivities, we have sought to foster a widespread sense of stewardship for Whychus Creek. The reintroduction of salmon and steelhead and renewed streamflows in Whychus are now joined by an invigorated community embrace for a creek that once ran completely dry. -
Wilderness Permit System Implementation Frequently Asked Que Stions
WILDERNESS PERMIT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUE STIONS When are permits required? The Deschutes and Willamette NFs are implementing a wilderness permit system for the Mt. Jefferson, Mt Washington and Three Sisters wildernesses this year. In 2020 the season for wilderness permits will begin on May 22nd and end on September 25th. Every year the season will be from the Friday prior to Memorial Day to the last Friday in September. How do people get permits? All reservations for a limited entry permit need to be made through Recreation.gov either on-line, by calling, or by doing the reservation at one of the Willamette and Deschutes National Forests’ offices. We want to encourage people to take advantage of getting permits online – “go on-line, don’t stand in line.” Reservations for limited entry permits will open on Tuesday, April 7th at 7:00 a.m. Every year permit reservations will be available beginning the first Tuesday in April. There is a $1.00 processing charge for day-use permits per individual and a $6.00 processing charge for overnight-use permits per group. An overnight group can be from 1 to 12 people. The processing charge funds the operation of the reservation system, like processing charges for tickets through Ticketmaster or other reservation systems. Other than the processing fee, there are no other additional costs/fees associated with the limited entry permit. However, people should be aware that if a NW Forest Pass or day use permit is required at a trailhead, the wilderness permit does not cover that requirement. -

Please see www.DeschutesPassage.com for information. 2 whychus creek: progress in restoration Introduction I n the spring of 2007, the historic reintroduction of steelhead trout in Whychus Creek began with the release of 250,000 fry into the creek. These small fish, barely two inches in length, were the first steelhead trout to swim in Whychus Creek for more than 50 years since dams on the Deschutes River blocked the historic mi- grations. Two years later, in 2009, annual steelhead releases were complemented by the first reintroduction of chinook salmon fry and smolts. Hundreds of thousands of young fish representing both seagoing species have been released each year since, and will continue to be placed in Whychus Creek for years to come. -

The potential effects finalizing the designation of the WSR Boundary andproposed Management Plan on viable populations or habitat of Proposed, Threatened, Endangered and Region 6 Forester's Sensitive wildlife species (TES), Management Indicator Species (MIS), Birds of Conservation Concem (BCC), Landbird Conservation Strategy Focal Species (LBFS), and Northwest Forest Plan Survey and Manage (SM), were evaluated. Designation of a final Wild and Scenic River Conidor Boundary changes some Forest Plan Allocations potentially altering the consideration for wildlife species and habitat. The Management Plan is a management direction document addressing the allocation changes and future management of the lands within the WSR Corridor. The plan itself does not involve any on-the-ground management activities that could cause effects to wildlife species. Any future proposed projects under the management plan would need site-specific analyses and documentation of effects to these species. The following is a sunmary of the analysis. -
