U.S. Army Lt. Col. Droesch, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, looks out over Lucky Peak Dam, Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026. The phrase "KEEP YOUR FORESTS GREEN," painted on the dam's spillway, is a local landmark and a reminder of the region's environmental heritage.
The prominent message painted on the spillway highlights the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' deep commitment to environmental stewardship. Watershed protection and healthy upstream forests are vital to civil works operations, as vibrant, forested ecosystems naturally filter water, regulate run-off, and drastically reduce soil erosion. By advocating for forest preservation, USACE helps protect the water quality of the reservoir, preserves native wildlife habitats, and ensures the long-term reliability of local water management systems.
