Working Groups
Working groups are made up of landowners and local community members who are interested in current ecosystem issues and in what kind of restoration needs to be done in their area. There are eight working groups spread across the more than 7,400 square miles of the Upper Klamath Basin. These working group areas are primarily agricultural, cover 4,766,181 acres, and impact water quality and endangered and threatened fish species in Upper Klamath Land and the Klamath River from the headwaters above Bly, Oregon over 250 miles to the Pacific Ocean.
The eight working groups are:
- Upper Williamson
- Lower Williamson
- Wood River/West Lake
- Klamath River
- Klamath Urban Area
- Klamath Project (to the state line)
- Lost River
- Sprague River
The Partnership helps to educate landowners and community members and assists in developing projects that conserve and restore the natural resources of the Klamath Basin, while also addressing landowners’ economic viability, ensuring long-term sustainability of the regional economy and local communities.
