Title: Klamath Drainage District: Fighting Over Water is for the Birds

125 West Main Street,Klamath Falls OR 97601

11 October, 2022

Description

Join Klamath Basin Audubon Society for our October presentation with local environmental leader Scott White. The past decade has brought regular drought to the Upper Klamath Basin, resulting in single species management negatively affecting lake and river conditions, agriculture production, waterfowl habitat and overall ecosystems. Klamath Drainage District (KDD) has been on the forefront of pushing back to exercise its rightful claim to water. By doing so, the Lower Klamath Lake area has been some of the only habitat in the Upper Klamath Basin for migrating waterfowl to rest and refuel. Come hear from Scott White, KDD's General Manager, to see what KDD is doing to exercise its rights, and some of the progressive projects they are working on to hang on to a threatened Lower Klamath Lake ecosystem. This will be a hybrid event - we will meet in person in the downstairs meeting area of the Favell Museum, and will also be available to attend via Zoom (details shared shortly). We value our communities health and safety, masks are required for in person attendees.
