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.

Council Mission:

The Long Tom Watershed Council serves to improve water quality and watershed condition in the Long Tom River basin through education, coordination, consultation, and cooperation among all the interests, using the collective wisdom and voluntary action of our community members.

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.

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.
