Connecting our community with the knowledge and technical support to reduce pesticide appearance in the Middle Deschutes River.
The Middle Deschutes Pesticide Stewardship Partnership (PSP) has focused on collecting data on water quality, land use, and watershed hydrology, and sharing that information regularly with the community. The development of the Middle Deschutes Pesticide Stewardship Partnership Strategic Plan (a.k.a. the Strategic Plan) will be completed across multiple meetings between September 2022 and June 2023. The Strategic Plan will go into effect July 2023.

We will be reviewing the pesticide data collected since 2019, local landuse data, and public objectives to develop a Strategic Plan to reduce pesicide appearance in our natural waters.
