Umatilla Basin Watershed Council

The Umatilla Basin Watershed Council is dedicated to the restoration and enhancement of fish habitats within the Umatilla River Basin, a vital 89-mile tributary of the Columbia River in northern Umatilla County, Oregon. Their comprehensive efforts focus on improving hydrology, geomorphology, connectivity, and vegetation to support sustainable aquatic ecosystems.

Through various projects, such as the Meacham Creek Phase 1, the council aims to protect and restore functional floodplain channels and watershed processes, ensuring healthy habitats for key aquatic species. Their measurable accomplishments include improved stream flow, restored floodplain acres, and enhanced riparian areas, all contributing to the recovery of fish populations in the region.
