Upper Willamette River

     The Upper Willamette River Conservation and Recovery Plan for Chinook Salmon and Steelhead (Plan) describes the population status and recovery plans for Chinook salmon populations in the Clackamas, Molalla, North Santiam, South Santiam, Calapooia, McKenzie, and Middle Fork Willamette sub-basins, and steelhead populations in the Molalla, North Santiam, South Santiam, Calapooia sub-basins. The Plan addresses legal requirements for recovery planning under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) and under Oregon’s Native Fish Conservation Policy. Perhaps more importantly, in addition to meeting legal requirements, the Plan provides an informed, strategic approach to recovery that is based on science, supported by stakeholders, built on existing efforts, and includes new recovery actions. The Plan is linked to an adaptive management framework that will allow it to evolve over time with new information, including assessment of the recovery actions taken. Implementation of the Plan will require the contribution of Federal, State, and local governments, tribes, and many organizations, groups, and citizens.
