With financial support from the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Middle Rogue Pesticide Stewardship Partnership (MRPSP) developed a comprehensive strategic plan to guide our monitoring efforts, outreach and communication, and next steps in the evolution of this watershed-wide initiative to understand pesticides and their origins in our surface waters.

The completion of the strategic plan would not have been possible without  Rogue River Watershed Council's John Speece, Southern Oregon Research & Extension Center's Gordon Jones, Rogue Valley Sewer Services' Jennie Morgan, or JSWCD's Karelia Ver Eecke. 

We would also like to thank the Middle Rogue Pesticide Stewardship Partnership Coordinating Council, local stakeholders, partner organizations, and others that have contributed to the development of this strategic plan and provided reviews: Kora Mousseaux, Clint Nichols, Jenna Sanford, and Randy White of the Jackson Soil and Water Conservation District; Mary Halbleib and Rick Hilton of the OSU Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center; Frances Oyung of Rogue Valley Sewer Services; Craig Harper of the Medford Water Commission; Greg Stabach of the Rogue Valley Council of Governments; Donna Chickering, Alexis Larsen (previously), and Sarah Sauter (previously) of the Rogue River Watershed Council; Eugene Weir of the Freshwater Trust; Frank Baratta of Jackson County; Andy Smith of the Grange Co-Op; Steve Wetmore of the Oregon Department of Forestry; Kevin Masterson of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality; Kirk Cook of the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
