THE KLAMATH
BASIN ALLIANCE
TO SAVE THE WINEMA & FREMONT NATIONAL FORESTS

About Us

Our goal is to keep the Fremont and Winema National Forest in Public ownership. We were formed to prevent the Klamath Tribes from seizing our beloved Forests.

We are founded in the Klamath Basin, but we are open to any and all Americans.

We believe all people are created equal. We do not support race based hiring practices. The community should not be subject to Tribal Courts, where non Indians are barred from judgeships.

We have supporters in the Upper and Lower Klamath Basin, within and outside of the Klamath Reservation, within and outside of the Klamath Tribes, and outside of our community altogether.

We want to live a One Basin and One Nation. We fully support irrigators ability to get water. We do not believe water should be held hostage to try to blackmail the community into supporting a sovereign nation, surrounding thousands of property owners.

When one accepts blackmail as a solution to a problem, the problem will only get worse as the blackmailer comes back time and time again, until one has no money (or water) left.

We support a solution to the Klamath Basin Water Crisis. Community Members including Hunters, Fishermen, Farmers and Ranchers have spent many years and many dollars fencing our streams, planting shade for fish, restoring and preserving our rivers and our streams. Solutions will come with cooperative efforts and broad based negotiations, not closed door secret meetings.

We want to remain intact the community’s ability to utilize our National Forests for wood cutting, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, horseback riding; hiking, skiing and other recreational opportunities, which we all enjoy.

We are not sponsored by or affiliated with Klamath Water Users Association or Tulelake Growers Association.  KBC has offered web space to us to share along with other basin organizations.

We will tell you whatever you want to know.
