Different kinds of plants have different kinds of root systems. Those roots provide organic matter at a variety of depths, which helps feed billions of soil organisms. Healthy and abundant native plant roots on Western rangelands protect against erosion, store more water, and foster healthy soil. Healthy rangelands are also more resilient to invasive weeds, wildfire, and drought.

Visit your local NRCS office for more information about managing healthy, productive rangelands.

It is remarkable how far land managers have come in river restoration. In 1956, it was common to find the Detroit riprap embedded in the bank to stabilize the river's edge. The 1956 photo was taken here in Walla Walla, and the other photo was taken in Mill Creek from a project WWCCD completed in 2024. Remnants of the cars are still visible along Walla Walla's waterways, as seen in the photo.
Now land managers use engineered log jams that are buried into the bank and anchored in through various means. Engineered log jams are designed to withstand higher flows, provide more complex river habitat, and support the river system.

In the Walla Walla River Basin, we don't always have enough water to meet the needs of our local communities, Tribes, farms, and aquatic ecosystems. The Walla Walla Basin Watershed Strategy (“Walla Walla 2050”) is a collaborative effort to meet the Basin’s growing water needs and provide water for healthy rivers, fish, farms, and people.
