📰 News we're reading

• Klamath Basin facing water shortage (kdrv.com) — Klamath Falls water managers are warning that this summer’s limited Klamath Basin water supply won’t be enough to fully serve irrigators and wildlife refuges. Local irrigation and water user leaders are urging farmers to conserve, enroll in federal drought response programs, and carefully plan water orders as they work to stretch every acre-foot through worsening drought and fire season.
   

• How Hunting Opportunity Would Increase At PNW NWRs Under Trump Administration Proposal - (nwsportsmanmag.com) — Federal wildlife officials are proposing to expand hunting opportunities at Lower and Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuges near Klamath Falls, including opening 2,599 acres of restored wetlands for waterfowl and adding quail to pheasant seasons. The broader Trump administration plan would shift many refuges nationwide to an “open unless closed” approach, adding or adjusting hunts across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Local hunters may see more access but should watch for final rule details and comment deadlines.
