Aquatic Restoration
The Malheur National Forest proposes aquatic restoration on public lands within the boundaries of the Malheur National Forest and/or adjacent lands where restoration activities would aid in the recovery of aquatic species and impaired water bodies. Aquatic restoration activities would be accomplished through the use of project specific design criteria using a consistent methodology to design, implement, monitor, and document watershed and aquatic restoration efforts.
The Aquatic Restoration Environmental Assessment (EA) found below includes a number of individual actions that, when grouped together, represent an overall watershed and fish habitat restoration program. Projects may occur at many individual sites across the Malheur National Forest, including those National Forest system lands on the Ochoco National Forest administered by the Malheur National Forest.
- Beaver Habitat Restoration on the Malheur NF
- Large Wood Debris Placement on the Malheur NF
- Meadow Restoration on the Malheur NF

Galena Aquatic Restoration Design Planning
The Blue Mountain Ranger District previously identified this high-priority area for aquatic restoration through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) planning process for the Big Mosquito Large Landscape Restoration Project. The Blue Mountain Ranger District of the Malheur National Forest invites you to participate planning the Galena Aquatic Restoration Project. The publics input is vital to assisting us in designing a project that will meet our goal of restoring the riparian process and function of the Middle Fork John Day River downstream of Galena, Oregon, while also recognizing the historic values of this ecologically and historically important area.
