Bear Creek Watershed Council

PO BOX 1548
MEDFORD, OR  97501

Coordinator:  Frances Oyung
E-mail: coordinator@bearcreek-watershed.org

The council meets on the second Monday each month, 8:30-10:30am in room 151 of the Lausmann Annex at 200 South Ivy in Medford.

The council removed a defunct dam on Lazy Creek, a tributary that has been identified as productive fish habitat, particularly for providing refuge during winter storm flows in Bear Creek. An extensive process produced the Ashland Watershed Assessment and Action Plan at the end of 2007. This document will assist in watershed planning and restoration for the years ahead. Riparian restoration is now taking place in several locations along Bear Creek and Larson Creek. Outreach and education, an important part of the council’s work, continues with a successful Kids & Bugs program, as well as many other events.
