Hood River Watershed Group
2007-09 Biennial Report Available!
The 2007-09 Biennial Report was submitted to OWEB at the end of July 2009. The report covers the group's many activities between July 2007 and June 2009. Some of the narrative describes group coordination and other actions performed by HRWG staff. However, the majority of the accomplishments reported are directly attributable to what HRWG members have accomplished over the past two years. Follow this link to download the report!
Indian Creek Golf Course Raptor Perch Installation
August 5, 2009, the Indian Creek Stewards completed the raising of their first habitat pole ("raptor pole"), in cooperation with the Indian Creek Golf Course. The installation is intended to augment a dedicated natural area along the creek, increase vole and mice predation by hawks and owls (and decrease golf course maintenance), and provide space for the mounting of an additional habitat box or two for other birds or bats. **Check out the Ruralite article covering this project!**

The pole and site transport was donated by Hood River Electric Coop
- Hardware and lumber was provided by Pacific Power
- Labor was provided by Northwest Service Academy out of Trout Lake (a great crew as usual)
- Construction oversight and many tools were donated by Tad Johnston
- Publicity was provided by Hood River News, Ruralite Magazine and Gorge Outdoors
Thanks so much to everyone that participated!
