Join LandWatch at Worthy Brewing to hear from Tod Heisler, our Rivers Conservation Program Director, to learn about the threats to the Deschutes River Basin, the "solutions" proposed by the irrigation districts, and what we can all do to preserve the River for the next 30 years and beyond.

The BCD Visionary Board invites you to a celebration of community in the Bend Central District on October 22nd!

This spring, we launched the BCD Initiative to build momentum and support for the Bend Central District's transformation into a vibrant, healthy, and resilient mixed-use neighborhood with safe connections between east and west Bend. 
 

Ever wonder why it's so easy to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city to explore the peaceful mountains, high desert, and farm and range land around Central Oregon?
 

Put on your planning hat and join Central Oregon LandWatch and Stemach Design + Architecture for a free interactive event where you'll discover what's required to create market rate affordable housing in Bend! 

Walk down into the scenic lower Whychus Creek Canyon to Alder Springs and then on to the confluence of the creek with the thundering Deschutes River below a towering wedge of rimrock on this premier Central Oregon hike. 

We learned how current practices are causing the Upper Deschutes River to be dewatered in the winter months and flooded during the irrigation season.
