Flowing Forward: Key Insights from the Middle Fork John Day River Intensively Monitored Watershed 2024 Summary Report

The Middle Fork John Day River Intensively Monitored Watershed (Middle Fork IMW) Working Group (comprised of multiple agencies and entities, with funding from PSMFC, NOAA and OWEB) dedicated 2023 to completing a summary report that builds off the Middle Fork IMW’s 2017 10-Year Summary Report. The 2024 report represents additional years of work and voluntary reporting by numerous agencies and individuals, conducting restoration, research, and monitoring activities in the upper Middle Fork John Day River. On a voluntary basis, principal investigators and their co-authors wrote eight individual chapters, describing their recent research and findings. The 2024 Summary Report also provides key insights into the intensity and types of restoration actions completed on the landscape, an assessment of the application of previous recommendations provided in 2017, a compilation of new lessons learned and recommendations, and recommendations for future restoration to target limiting factor(s) and achieve the goals of the Middle Fork IMW.  The 2024 Middle Fork John Day IMW Summary Report can be found at this link: 2024 Middle Fork John Day River IMW Summary Report.  Kasey Bliesner (ODFW and the Middle Fork IMW co-coordinator) and other members of the Middle Fork IMW Working Group will present key insights from the 2024 Summary Report.
