Ochoco Creek Restoration
30 students from the Crook County School system in Prineville, helped restore a quarter-mile section of Ochoco Creek where cattle grazing has caused riparian damage. Sponsored by the Crook County Soil & Water District, Portland General Electric, Trout Unlimited, and Crook County schools, the goal is to plant hundreds of willows, alders, cottonwood, and other plants to help create shade for cooler and, ultimately, cleaner water.
