Mission Statement
The mission of the Klamath Basin Rangeland Trust is to restore and conserve the quality and quantity of water in Oregon's Wood River Valley and the upper Klamath Basin to enhance the natural ecosystem and supply needed water for downstream agriculture, ranching, native fish and wildlife populations.
More specifically, the Klamath Basin Rangeland Trust seeks to strengthen its cooperative partnership with private property owners and government agencies to achieve the following objectives:
-
To address the over-commitment of water resources in the Klamath Basin by equitably forbearing water use in the Wood River Valley and reducing cattle grazing to levels that can be sustained without irrigation.
-
To increase the flow of water to Upper Klamath Lake for the downstream benefit of fish, wildlife, ranching and agriculture.
-
To manage cattle grazing in ways that improves water quality in rivers and lakes.
-
To reestablish wetlands adjacent to Agency Lake to increase water storage capacity and produce wetland-related environmental benefits.
-
To secure employment opportunities for the people of the Klamath Basin to implement the mission of the Klamath Basin Rangeland Trust.
