Deschutes County is home to several wildlife species. Some like the Western Sage Grouse, Spotted Frog, and Bull Trout have impacts to private land owners, irrigation districts and other local entities.

The Deschutes Soil and Water Conservation District are partnering with Oregon Fish and Wildlife, US Fish and Wildlife and other partners to work with landowners that want to improve and enhance wildlife habitat on their lands.
