The Bend Field Office covers nine counties in central Oregon including Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson, Wheeler, Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Harney, and Lake Counties, and portions of Klamath and Malheur counties.

Conservation is a dish best served locally, which is why the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has staff located throughout the state of Oregon to work with you, right where you live, to conserve wildlife and their habitats for future generations.

Sustainable water management for people and wildlife is a balancing act that has taken years to achieve in the Deschutes River Basin. Learn how we are working with partners to accomplish this goal: Deschutes Habitat Conservation Plan.
