The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council believes that community education is at the core of long-term conservation and watershed restoration. Without education, the accomplishments of today will be lost in future generations.
Thank you to our amazing funders!

New Projects
This fall we are very excited to be working with many different schools from Bend and Sisters in their local watersheds. Next week we will be starting a year long project with Sisters Middle School, with the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, to create a Whychus Creek field guide for the local community to use. They will learn about the history of Whychus, the restoration work, even participating in a stewardship project themselves and learning more about the land and where they live including plant and wildlife. This should be a very fun and engaging project for all 120 students participating! We are also working with Bend High, Miller Elementary, Pine Ridge, Highland, and REALMS of Bend, so far. Stay tuned for the growing list of schools and students we will be working with this year.
