Upper Deschutes River Communities (UDRC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating fire-adapted communities, promoting healthy forests, ensuring pure and abundant river flows, and preserving wildlife habitat in Bend, Oregon. With a mission to protect and enhance the natural resources of the Upper Deschutes River region, UDRC collaborates with various partners and grants to implement programs that engage volunteers and address funding needs for defensible space and home hardening.
UDRC works closely with the Oregon Department of Forestry and Oregon State University to update wildfire hazard maps and provide Oregonians with resources and educational tools for creating defensible space. Additionally, the organization offers reimbursement programs for property owners within the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District to cover the costs of wildfire risk reduction measures, as well as free wildfire fuels reduction services for low-income senior or disabled homeowners in the same district.
