E. The battle over water and wildlife in the Klamath Basin is something of a new arena for you and ONRC. These questions concern your involvement with these issues since 1991.
- How had you been involved with issues affecting the Klamath Basin prior to your move from Eugene in 1993? Did you write any or all of the staff reports on the basin which appeared in Wild Oregon? Has reformatting of the publication from a magazine to newsletter been a help or hindrance to getting the word out about the battle over restoring marshland?
- Has it been difficult to get people who reside in other parts of the state interested in issues affecting the Klamath Basin? Have the trips you’ve led attracted people from outside the basin? Given the warning issued by Rachel Carson long ago, why didn’t the local conservation groups bring more media attention to the wildlife decline? How did the drought of the 1980s and early 1990s allow the Klamath Tribes and ONRC to share a common interest?
- Do you see the upcoming adjudication of water rights in the basin as possibly altering the water delivery of USBR? Has the water allocation plan ordered by Secretary Babbitt had a beneficial effect on wildlife? What led to your withdrawal from the basin working group funded by Congress?
- How has leasing of refuges for agriculture been detrimental to wildlife? Can strategies such as sump rotation help to improve conditions? Has Lava Beds National Monument approached you about restoration of the historic scene?
- How did the idea for a willow planting weekend come to mind? Will it be expanded to other areas in the basin? Does ONRC have a vision for large-scale restoration efforts in the basin, such as along the Wood River? Would most of these projects be publicly funded, or might foundations have a role? Index
