Oregon Desert Land Trust (ODLT) proposes to restore ~4 miles of Trout Creek and ~1500 acres of associated wet meadows at Trout Creek Ranch’s Pueblo Valley headquarters. The meadows support several sensitive and/or priority species,…
This working ranch and associated wet meadows make up the base area of the 16,645 acre property that lies between the Pueblo and Trout Creek Mountains.
This region has the second highest summit in southeastern Oregon and provides climate resilient connectivity between more than 1 million acres of wildlife habitat in the Great Basin.
Named for the meandering creek within the mountains, this area has more than 75 miles of streams, as well as springs, that provide critical water for sensitive plants and animals of the high desert.
