The Council meets the second Monday of every month at 5:00 pm at the Klamath County Courthouse. 

The Sprague River sub-basin has been identified as a primary restoration target by US Fish and Wildlife (USFW) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The Council has been doing a landowner outreach project in the area for the last two years with enormous success. In the spring of 2006, USFW funded the Council to work with landowners on ranch conservation plans. As a project partner, Klamath County has provided 10 miles of riparian fencing and "kids at risk" have been hired during the summer to install the fencing.  Three days after the funds were awarded, all ten miles of fence were spoken for and 4 miles were installed as of August 10^th.  This project is more than riparian fencing. 

It includes uplands/range management, grazing management, and off-stream watering facilities. The project has become a community effort.  Ranchers help design the fence as well as share time and equipment.

Former Coordinator Danette Watson talks with Hugh Barrett and local rancher Sonner Crume about his rangeland management and springs.
