A two-year effort by the Hood River Basin Partnership has resulted in completion of a 20-year strategic action plan to continue work to restore aquatic habitat. Watershed 2040 encompasses a scope of work for restoring fish habitat, streamflow, and water quality over the next 20 years. Hood River Watershed Group coordinator Cindy Thieman says the nine groups involved have worked together on these issues for two decades, but it’s the first time they’ve put together a long-range plan. The partnership includes the Watershed Group, Hood River Soil and Water Conservation District, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, East Fork, Middle Fork, and Farmers Irrigation Districts, the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
