People
in the Watershed Council
| Who
are the members of the Long Tom Watershed Council?
For
the Long Tom we created a council that includes as members
all people living in or interested about the watershed.
People come from farm fields, forests, rural & urban
areas to join in watershed discussions. We are all working
toward a set of common goals. Individuals, Industry
& business, non-profits and all levels of government
are involved too. |

Who
is in charge of the Long Tom Watershed Council?
At
council meetings all members have an equal voice so the
"power" of the council comes from the attendance
and communication among people in the Long Tom Watershed.
The Council itself has no regulatory power. Lane and
Benton counties formally recognized us as the council for
the area in 1998.

Who
are the members of the Long Tom Watershed Steering Committee?
The
Steering Committee is selected to serve the general council
and includes members from each sub-basin as well as at-large
members. The purpose of the Steering Committee is
to help coordinate the achievement of the Council's goals.
Please refer to the Charter
for more specifics.

What
are some actions the Watershed Council can take to improve
watershed conditions?
Our watershed council strives to create partnerships among
residents, landowners, businesses, industries, agencies,
and organizations. We feel it is important to communicate
across the boundaries that have developed between people
regarding the environment. We also serve to educate
ourselves, each other, and the general public about watershed
health. By gathering information such as in our
watershed assessment and water quality monitoring program,
we can all work together to promote and conduct projects
to improve watershed conditions.
|
What
are some ways to participate in the Council?
One of the best ways that an individual can support the
watershed council is by simply getting the word out.
We encourage people to use their natural skills, strengths,
ideas, and connections to pitch in where they see a need.
A volunteer may help by monitoring water quality, representing
us at meetings, organizing summer fair booths, maintaining
our web site, organizing workshops, helping to write grants,
or showing educational videos to students.
Any
effort is appreciated: please see our volunteer
area for more information.
