Willamette Habitat Restoration Priorities

Willamette River Basin, Oregon

ESA Adolfson is reviewing local habitat restoration priorities, summarizing basin-wide issues, and producing a written report and database for the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB). The focus is on fish and wildlife habitat and water quality throughout the Willamette Basin. The process includes summarizing relevant local and basin-wide habitat studies, and soliciting advice and feedback from stakeholders throughout the basin. The final report will summarize the findings and stakeholder input; a database and a series of maps will summarize and display fish and wildlife restoration priorities at a range of scales. The project’s findings and recommendations will assist OWEB in prioritizing the selection of grant-funded habitat restoration projects in the basin.
