There Is Plenty to Celebrate!
Even in the dynamic year of 2020, there is plenty to celebrate in the Long Tom Watershed. Join us from November 12 to 17 on this page and on Facebook for a series of short videos capturing diverse voices of our watershed sharing what inspires them about our watershed and its people, and what gives them hope for the future. It will all culminate in an evening celebration and fundraiser on November 17th at 6 p.m with a live debut screening of these voices and others in a short 15 min film “Building a Better Tomorrow Together.”

Your gifts are vitally important to improve the health of our watershed for all of us. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to support amazing and cutting-edge work in the Long Tom Watershed! We’ve already secured $3600 from local gifts. Please help us meet our goal by giving whatever is meaningful to you.
