The Logan Valley was purchased in April 2000 to compensate, in part, for the loss of fish and wildlife resources in the Columbia and Snake River Basins. The project allows the Tribe to manage 1,760 acres of meadow, wetland, and sagebrush steppe habitats within the headwaters of the Malheur River.  The property includes significant stretches of Big and Lake Creeks and hosts key habitat for bull trout.  The project is also benefiting other populations of fish, wildlife, and plant species.  General objectives include reviving and improving critical habitat for fish and wildlife populations, controlling/ eradicating weed populations, improving water quality, and preserving cultural resources.

In 2021, this contract will allow the Burns Paiute Tribe to conduct the following management activities: complying with cultural resource and ESA requirements, improving existing vegetation communities, identifying and controlling noxious weeds, performing riparian plantings, maintenance activities, providing access, monitoring vegetation and wildlife, and education/coordination with tribal, government and general public parties
