About us.
Maupin Friends of the Deschutes is an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to public awareness, education, dialogue, and positive interaction with the City of Maupin to ensure any development along the river is performed responsibly and transparently, in accordance with Federal, State, and Local requirements – with all users in mind.
Our Mission
To ensure planned and existing developments along The Deschutes National Scenic River as it flows through Maupin comply with local, state, and federal land use and floodplain development requirements. We educate the public and engage with the Maupin City Planning Commission and City Council as well as Wasco County and Oregon State agencies regarding floodplain development for the public good and all users of the Deschutes River.
