The Calapooia Watershed Council meets the second Wednsday of every month at 7:00pm in Browsville.
On August 27th, 2007, council members and staff and our dedicated partners came together to witness the removal of Brownsville Dam after more than five years of outreach and planning. This momentous event was celebrated with numerous federal and state agency partners and members of the local community. Project partners made possible the removal of Brownsville Dam, which has opened more than 60 miles of upstream habitat after blockage for more than 100 years. The 1960s concrete dam created a barrier to fish passage for cutthroat trout, Pacific lamprey, winter steelhead, and spring Chinook salmon. The council and its partners have joined again to tackle the last major fish passage barrier on the main channel, the Sodom Dam.
Calapooia Watershed Council receives State Land Board Award for Brownsville Dam removal project.
