Two Initiatives are Better Than One!
This fall, US Forest Service and US Fish and Wildlife personnel came together twice to eradicate carp. The US Forest Service is a part of the Harney County Restoration Collaborative and the US Fish and Wildlife Service are partners in the Harney Basin Wetlands Initiative. The group used electrofishing to stun carp and remove them from Malheur Lake and its tributaries. The group removed over 2,000 fish over their two days working together! You can read more about the experience by visiting our website. 
Youth Initiative Partners Discuss Vision and Possible Projects 
Youth initiative partners had their second meeting November 1st at the Harney County community center. The group discussed a vision for the initiative. It was decided that the youth council would work on developing a few vision statements, which they will bring back to the group during the next meeting. Partners broke into smaller groups and discussed what projects they would potentially like to see happen. We heard lots of great ideas during the meeting and are excited about the potential possibilities going forward!
