People in the Watershed Council
|
Who are the members of the Long Tom Watershed Council?
The Long Tom Watershed Council 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 Council's Mission and Goals 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 website, organizing workshops, helping to write grants, or showing educational videos to students.
Any effort is appreciated: please see our Volunteer area for more information.
