The Councils meets the second Thursday of each month at 6pm.
Over the 2007-2009 biennium, the North Santiam Watershed Council completed projects along 3 miles of contiguous side channel, a priority habitat in the North Santiam for listed salmon and steelhead. Projects included replacing 3 culverts for fish passage, adding engineered log jams for habitat complexity, removing noxious weeds and restoring native vegetative buffers to protect water quality and provide habitat, fencing livestock off the stream to protect water quality, and enrolling landowners in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program. The council is planning similar projects that restore contiguous habitat on 3 additional North Santiam tributaries.
