2025 Reclamation Education Project:
This year, we're launching an education program that combines instruction on state and federal rules for reclamation with a module on best management practices in the field. As a part of this, registered users can find several components of instruction on the website.

2014 - 2019
City of Aumsville Public Swimming Creek, Marion County: 10 pounds of trash was removed from this natural swimming area in town, and included beverage cans, lead fishing weights, and farm equipment.
A bill in the Oregon Legislature was scheduled for public testimony which would have allocated funding for stream cleanup out of DEQ's fine revenues. The public testimony was cancelled and never rescheduled. In the two days after the meeting's cancellation, several newspapers around the state printed bad press about StreamSavers, quoting Oregon Wild's rejection of our environmental efforts.
West Illinois River, Josepine County: Five pounds of trash was removed from approximately 1/8 mile of riverbank, which included knotted bunches of fishing line, and aluminum RV screen door, and machinery parts.
