Whychus Canyon Restoration (6.0 miles) Discovery Outpost Preserve & Stream Restoration (58 ac / 0.25 miles) Camp Polk Meadow Preserve & Stream Restoration (145 ac / 1.7 miles) City of Sisters Stream Corridor Restoration Planning (4.0 miles) Fish Passage and Screening (6 projects) Stream Restoration on U.S. Forest Service land (4 projects) Pine Meadow Ranch Dam Removal and Floodplain Restoration(1.25 miles) Three Sisters Irrigation District Dam Retrofit Youth education and watershed stewardship projects 10 Streamflow Restoration Projects (20 cfs of conservation, leasing and purchases) Watershed-wide Restoration Effectiveness Monitoring (7 parameters including fisheries, water quality, macroinvertebrates, streamflow, etc.) US Forest Service Wild and Scenic River Management Planning

11 Getting Projects off the Ground Landowner / Community Buy-in Agency Support / Collaboration Funder Support

12 Landowner/Community Buy-in Relationships/Trust Water Conservation through piping and leasing (> 25 cfs) Land Conservation Fish Passage and Channel/Floodplain Restoration
