"A Creek Runs Free Again" - Register-Guard article about the Council's work!
Register-Guard Reporter Sue Palmer was at our Restoration Project tour at Owens Creek on July 16, and she wrote a great front page article about the project and the Council.

The Long Tom Watershed Council is a volunteer group of citizens from diverse perspectives coming together to learn about the watershed and do what they can to improve the water quality and habitat conditions. 


Confluence of the Willamette and Long Tom Rivers
Oregon's Long Tom River and its tributaries flow from the crest of the Coast Range Mountains through Fern Ridge Reservoir, then northward to join the Willamette River just beyond the town of Monroe.  Other tributaries join the Long Tom from the surrounding valley, including the Amazon which flows through Eugene. 

Camas, a native wetland plant
The Long Tom River and the surrounding watershed provide a multitude of benefits including: productive forest and farm lands, recreational opportunities, and habitat for cutthroat trout, blue heron, western pond turtle, and many sensitive plants.
