We enhance resilience in Rogue River watersheds, benefiting natural and human communities alike.

Southern Oregon faces challenges that require innovative solutions. Habitat loss, invasive species, stream-side development, and other factors put watershed health at risk. We strive to engage people of all ages and backgrounds while working with organizations and landowners to conserve and improve streams and the land that surrounds them. Our work is vital to the community, land, and wildlife in our region because we all depend on water.

In September, we hosted a clean-up site for Bear Creek Stewards Day. This event is coordinated by Jackson County Parks twice a year at sites along Bear Creek. Check out some of the impacts of this important work- with the support of volunteers like you!

Our next clean up is Earth Day 2027! 🌎

We received a lot of comments and feedback about our recent post on Public Lands Day. As an organization that focuses its work on rivers that would be directly affected by rescinding the roadless rule, we want to make sure the information that's getting out is accurate. From our comments we compiled a list of common misconceptions and put together an overview and sources related to the topics for further research.

As a reminder, we work with private landowners, timber companies, federal agencies, state agencies, and other non profits to make our communities more resilient. Informed decisions are the best decisions, and that's our only goal here.

Have you been seeing this information floating around recently? Have you commented on the proposed rule recession (closes October 6!)

The Rogue River is officially one of America's Most Endangered Rivers for 2026. This summer, new federal proposals aimed to strip away Roadless Rule protections, which would open up the Rogue’s headwaters to strip mining and heavy logging.🌲These are a major concern for our drinking water sources and overall community health. The Rogue River is already feeling the heat, facing threats of nickel mining right in its main tributaries. Call us old-fashioned, but we prefer our rivers to be filled with salmon, not heavy metals. 🐟🚫

This National Public Lands Day, let’s do more than post a pretty photo. Public lands belong to us, not the highest bidder. Use your voice and tell Congress that public lands are NOT for sale!
