Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds Welcome to the Oregon Plan

Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds Welcome to the Oregon Plan:
For Salmon and Watersheds Salmon, and the rivers that are their home, are fundamental and treasured elements of Oregon's diverse landscapes. The Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds is Oregon's cooperative effort to restore salmon runs, improve water quality, and achieve healthy watersheds and strong communities throughout the state.

Such an effort cannot succeed through laws and government actions alone, and so the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds also relies on Oregonians' characteristic spirit of volunteerism and stewardship. This website provides information on what you can do at home, at work, and as a business owner to become a partner in the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. It also provides background information on the Plan's origins and progress, and whom to contact for additional assistance.

Salmon live everywhere we do, following rivers that take them through our cities, working forests and farm lands, and coastal estuaries. All of us - private citizens, sport and commercial fishing interests, the timber industry, environmental groups, agriculture, utilities, businesses, tribes, and government agencies - must work together to make sure both people and salmon can thrive over the long term.
