Description of Watershed

The Upper Grande Ronde River Watershed consists of 1,049,922 acres. Sixty percent of the watershed is forestland, twenty percent is rangeland, and the remaining acreage is used for grain crops, hayland and pastureland.

There are 794 farms and ranches in the Upper Grande Ronde River watershed. Just more than one-half are less than 50 acres in size. Landowners of these small farms may have a few horses or beef cattle, small orchards, or other small operations. The larger, commercially viable operations range from pastureland, hayland, and rangeland to large private industrial forestland to cropland and orchards.
