The Deschutes River Alliance (DRA) is a science-based advocacy organization seeking collaborative solutions to the threats facing the Wild and Scenic Deschutes River and its tributaries.

We advocate for cooler, cleaner water, a healthy ecosystem, and the recovery and protection of robust populations of resident and anadromous fish.

Our vision is a lower Deschutes River which is the confluence of a healthy ecosystem, sustainable economy and vibrant community. As a result of our science, outreach, and advocacy work, the DRA has become a leading voice in central Oregon regarding the health of this treasured Oregon river.
