Overview
Grant Description
The wetland restoration on Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge (UKNWR) Barnes Unit, Agency Lake Units, and adjacent lands project is located in south central Oregon in Klamath County in the northern portion of the Klamath Basin.
This project consists of the planning phase to complete the restoration design and permitting and to restore 14,356 acres of various wetland habitat types. This project will help UKNWR fulfill its mission of restoring and maintaining the composition and structure of existing and historic wetland communities of Upper Klamath Lake.
This project will be important in restoring habitat for waterfowl, and other wetland-associated bird species for Lost River and Shortnose Suckers (federally endangered) for Oregon Spotted Frogs (federally threatened) and for Redband Trout and potentially Chinook Salmon (sensitive species in OR). Additionally, this project will improve water quality and improve water storage.
UKNWR has chosen to partner with Ducks Unlimited, Inc. (DU) to assist with the development of an engineered restoration design (Phase 1) and environmental compliance (Phase 2) for the preferred alternative from their environmental assessment document for work on the Barnes and Agency Units within UKNWR.
Phase 3 will now provide funding to begin construction on work within the Barnes and Agency Units, as well as provide funding for engineering and environmental compliance services for the Eisenberg Unit and adjacent private lands.
