WaterWatch of Oregon has another win!

Collaborative effort in Illinois sub-basin benefits salmon and steelhead, increases resiliency to climate change. Work crews have finished demolition of a 13-foot high, 70-foot wide concrete diversion dam as part of a larger collaborative effort to restore access to habitat for native salmon and steelhead in Takelma Creek, part of the key spawning sub-basin of Deer Creek, itself part of the Illinois River sub-basin of the Rogue River.

, Rogue Riverkeeper needs you! Donate in the month of October to have your dollars matched. Click below to find out why RRK needs funds ASAP and how you can help.

MATCH ALERT!

The southern Oregon community has shown us they believe in our hard work. We worked tirelessly alongside our community to defeat the Jordan Cove LNG pipeline, and we celebrated this pinnacle of success with you all. 🥳

Since that success, foundations and other funders who were focused on that project have been putting their philanthropic donations elsewhere. Despite the shift in funding, we are still working hard as ever to protect water quality from the impacts of commercial jet boats, urbanization, and polluters.

❗️ We are now facing a shortfall and need your help to fund our work as we continue to advocate for clean water in the Rogue basin. ❗️

In support of this belief, an incredibly generous donor has offered to match all donations made to Rogue Riverkeeper through the month of October! That means for every dollar you donate, your charitable contribution will be matched up to $7,500 and will go directly towards your clean water and native fish advocacy. Help us reach our $15,000 goal by the end of October! Make a donation today to see your donation go twice as far in the fight for a swimmable, drinkable, fishable Rogue basin.

Second Rogue Basin Dam Removal Project in One Year Nears Completion! New press release from WaterWatch of Oregon.

“This is great news for salmon and steelhead, and the many people who love the Illinois River,” said Jim McCarthy, Southern Oregon program director for WaterWatch of Oregon. “The accelerated pace of river restoration in this area is a great credit to the many partners who came together to get the work done, and demonstrates the need to maintain the federal and state programs that make these projects possible.”

WaterWatch previously secured a removal agreement for the dam with the private landowner, Siskiyou Field Institute, which ensured removal at no cost to them. The group then initially partnered with the ROGUE BASIN PARTNERSHIP and ODFW to secure the approximately $1.1 million in funding necessary for the project. Rogue Basin Partnership secured $15,644 in technical assistance funding from the Resources Legacy Fund. U.S. Forest Service provided significant funding towards removal and replacement of fish-blocking culverts.
