Upper Klamath Basin "Walking Wetlands" Demonstration Project

The Lava Beds Butte Valley Resource Conservation District will demonstrate and document the agricultural and ecological benefits of incorporating wetlands into commercial crop rotations in the Upper Klamath Basin of Southern Oregon and Northern California. The project involves three private farms totaling 2,282 acres. The focus of the project will be on annual per acre incentive payments to cooperating growers who will match those costs with deferred crop revenues and increased field maintenance costs while they are managed as rotational wetlands.
