You are at the site for participants of the Harney Basin Wetlands Collaborative. The Harney Basin Wetlands Collaborative (HBWC) was formed in 2011, as a collaborative effort to improve the aquatic health and sustainability of Malheur Lake, and the wild flood-irrigated wet meadows across the Harney Basin. Since 2011 the collaborative has been working to integrate social, economic and ecological values to support wetlands, streams, flood-irrigated meadows, emergent marshes and other wetland types of the Harney Basin. These ecosystems support abundant bird and wildlife populations and the thriving agricultural economy capable of meeting ecological, community, and economic needs of this critical stop on the Pacific Flyway. HBWC is working to restore and enhance healthy lands and water while nurturing a rural way of life that supports and values wetland conservation in the Harney Basin.
This website is where you can find information about the collaborative, current projects, resources, a calendar of meeting and event dates and more. For questions about the collaborative and anything you see here contact Melissa Petschauer, High Desert Partnership’s Harney Basin Ecological Coordinator at melissa@highdesertpartnership.org.
