Where: Prineville District Bakeoven Facilities in Maupin, Oregon
Maupin, Ore. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is hosting a grand opening for its new Bakeoven facilities in Maupin, OR. The facilities will serve as the BLM’s operations center for the Lower Deschutes Wild and Scenic River and include an office, workshop, and seasonal staff housing. The BLM Prineville District manages the river with the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation and the State of Oregon. The new facilities will support the ability of river managers to enhance visitor experiences while protecting the river’s remarkable values. The completion of this project was made possible through funding from the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), a historic investment to reduce the backlog of maintenance projects on America’s public lands. With these new facilities, the BLM and its partners will be a better neighbor to the communities that rely on the river’s natural and economic resources.
RSVP: By COB Tuesday, May 30, 2023. RSVP to Morgan Rubanow, BLM Public Affairs Specialist: mrubanow@blm.gov or 503-545-9717. Address given upon RSVP.
