The West Eugene Wetlands (WEW), managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Northwest Oregon District, consist of 27 sites spanning approximately 1400 acres, and is located within and west of Eugene, OR.

The focus of work completed by the Institute for Applied Ecology in 2017 was to perform habitat restoration that moved the WEW sites closer to meeting habitat quality benchmarks identified in the Recovery Plan for the Prairie Species of Western Oregon and Southwestern Washington.
