What are Watershed Councils?
We are based in local communities across the state of Oregon. We are led by experts in natural resources and guided by boards made up of local community members. We assess and monitor environmental conditions, and conduct voluntary conservation projects to restore and enhance the waters and lands for native species, and for people. We work with local partners, like landowners, community members, companies/industries, elected officials and municipal/state agencies. Since 1997, the Oregon legislature has encouraged local governments to form watershed councils through Oregon Statute 541.910.
The Network of Oregon Watershed Councils (NOWC) represents watershed councils statewide. Our councils vary in location, size, and organizational structure, and operate in both urban and rural areas. You can find us out there improving fish passages, removing invasive weeds, and creating water storage opportunities in our forests and wetlands. Join us in our mission to preserve and enhance the beauty and vitality of our watershed communities!
