The Long Tom Watershed Council works to educate citizens of the watershed by regularly conducting meetings and project site tours, presentations, workshops, and reaching out to our membership with our newsletter.

Publications & Presentations

The Long Tom Watershed Council is pleased to announce that it is the recipient of the 2009 Science and Practice of Ecology and Society Award! The Council was applauded for fostering a network of support based on trust and open communication among key stakeholders who live and work in the Long Tom Watershed. All perspectives in the watershed are viewed as a vital resource, and that is why we use a consensus approach to problem solving and decision making--an inclusive spirit that has encouraged participation and cooperation for more effective, long-term solutions to restoration projects.

Read about these accomplishments in "Social Infrastructure to Integrate Science and Practice: the Experience of the Long Tom Watershed Council", published in the Journal of Ecology and Society.

Regular Meetings & Tours

One of our goals is to share knowledge and perspectives that build a common understanding about issues and conditions in the watershed. At each Council Meeting our agenda includes a guest speaker or tour as well as business. Outdoor tours have included farms, forests, wetlands, urban creeks, a wastewater treatment plant, and restoration projects. Guest speakers focus on adult education and have covered topics including drinking water protection, water quality monitoring, forest practices, watershed analysis, consensus, fish species and habitat, groundwater, restoration, hydrology and water use, riparian and wetland conditions, landscape history, farming, stormwater and urban creek restoration, nutrients and polluted runoff.

Workshops

The Council has conducted workshops on water quality training, proper functioning condition of riparian areas, farm conservation, working together in successful groups, stream restoration, fish and their habitat needs, and many other subjects.
