COLLABORATIVE VISION STATEMENT:

The SPRAGUE watershedlies east of the Cascade Range in the Klamath Basin of south central Oregon. This area is a vital nesting spot and migratory pathway for thousands of waterfowl and other bird species. The Cascades boast myriad forest systems from the upland areas of ponderosa pine, with mixes of true fir, Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine to lower-elevation juniper and sagebrush with some juniper grasslands. Stream valleys and the broad, sediment-filled structural basins generally have extensive marshes. This vast system hosts threatened fish and newly discovered aquatic species.
