Celebrating 25 Years and Envisioning the Next 25
The Watershed Council is celebrating its 25th anniversary! We’ve achieved so much together in that time, and none of that would have been possible without the support, local knowledge, and voluntary action of all of you in the watershed community. Join us in marking accomplishments over the last 25 years while also looking forward to the amazing, visionary work happening on the ground today and planned into the future.
After two years of virtual or hybrid events, this year’s annual celebration will be all about community and creating an opportunity for fellowship. Join us for a fun afternoon in the park along the shores of Fern Ridge Lake. The event will be fully outside and feature a dessert auction, non-alcoholic beverages, watershed awards, live music, trivia, and ample time to reconnect with familiar faces and form fresh connections.
Outdoor Event: Saturday, September 24th, 1:30 – 4 p.m.
Adult Tickets: $10 / person | $18 / group of 2 | $25 maximum per group of 3+ | (kids are free!)

Help us Raise $25,000 for our 25th Anniversary!
Your gifts are essential to keep the work going to improve the health of our watershed. This last year saw the emergence of a regional prescribed fire and cultural burning program for the southern Willamette Valley, the continued innovation and expanding partnerships in both our Uplands and Urban Waters & Wildlife programs, progress made on the Long Tom and Willamette mainstems, and the delivery of both virtual and in-person learning events. Your passion and support have helped drive all of this significant work forward.
Help us meet our goal of $25,000 for our 25th Anniversary! In 2020, you all exceeded our expectations with your generosity by giving $25,000 in just a few short months! We’ve decided to aim high for that goal this year, and we’re already nearly halfway there!
Thank you for all that you do for this watershed, and please help us meet this year’s goal by giving whatever amount is meaningful to you. Whether that’s $1,000 or $1 — every gift counts!
