Landmark Water Sale Near Sisters Could Help Steelhead
Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 12:00AM
A Sisters-area development group Wednesday announced it would sell 63 acres of "pioneer" water rights to a central Oregon water conservation group. The deal will restore a small, but significant, amount of water to Whychus Creek – a tributary to the Deschutes River. Instead of using the water on farmland or golf courses – the water will now be left in the stream. LINK (Via: OPB News)

Always nice to see out donated monies to groups like the Freshwater Trust are being used in means to benefit someone and something other than Corporate greed. Keep up the good work everyone!!!
