It's time to hone our knowledge regarding the ecosystems where we live.  Come and join us for our fall speakers!

Come join us on Wednesday, September 6th, 6:00 p.m at the Baker County Library, Baker City.

​

Emmy Tyrrell, Sage Grouse CCAA Coordinator with the Powder Basin Watershed Council will talk to us about Sage Grouse and sage brush ecosystems.

Come and listen to what Emmy has to share on Wednesday, November 1st, 6:00 pm. Location to be determined.

​

We're having a Beaver Dam Barbecue! We have been busy this summer making way for beaver along Camp Creek in the North Fork Burnt River Watershed by building mock beaver dams that will restore ecological function and hopefully encourage beaver to colonize our project area. Come join us on Saturday, September 30th, and let's build a few mock beaver dams together while we share with you regarding the ecological value of beavers and how we are going about making way for them. And we will end the day with a tasty lunch! For more details and to register, please contact Madison O'Bryant at pbwcwrc@qwestoffice.net or call 541-523-7288.

Casting a line in the Powder River closer to home and reeling in fish for dinner could become a reality if the Powder Basin Watershed Council has its way.

​

If the dream comes true, Baker City residents might just find themselves walking down to the riverside rather than driving to more distant fishing holes to bring home enough trout for a fish fry...
