The Council meets every other month on the fourth Thursday at 7pm at the Mist/Birkenfield Firehall.
The Council was very excited about their East Humbug sub-basin improvement project. This Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board funded project was made possible by Longview Fibre Co. who partnered with the Upper Nehalem Watershed Council and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to replace five salmon migration barriers restoring access to 5+ miles of essential salmon habitat; rebuild one mile of salmon habitat with large woody debris placement; improve riparian conditions with conifer and hardwood under-plantings along 1.5 miles of stream reach; place salmon carcasses throughout the project area; and hydro-seed all disturbed areas. Valuable contributions also came from the Bureau of Land Management, Native Plant Nursery Cooperative, and Department of Environmental Quality 319 program.
