Bull Run Watershed


Bull Run Watershed 007

Fellows visited with watershed educator Briggy Thomas at the Bull Run Watershed. The Bull Run, located east of Portland near Mount Hood, provides exceptionally clean, unfiltered water to the City of Portland and is the primary water source for the city. The Bull Run watershed is co-managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the City of Portland under special legislation known as the Bull Run Act, Forest Service regulations and formal agreements between the two agencies. The Bull Run Act requires the Forest Service to consult and coordinate with the City on plans and activities for the watershed. Click on the photo for more.
