Lower Long Tom Public Comment Period – December 3rd Deadline

Have you been following our multi-year effort to improve fish passage in the Long Tom river at Monroe? We are now at a critical step in this important project and could use your help!

We’ve been working alongside our partners at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the City of Monroe to imagine a brighter future for this river, and are now at a critical moment and could use your help!


If you knew it was possible to simultaneously create a healthier future for culturally important species like spring chinook salmon and Pacific lamprey while also helping a rural community address it’s most precious drinking water resources, what would you do?

Our partners at the Portland District Army Corps of Engineers are receiving substantive (details please!) public comment about this project through December 3rd. Please take a look at the project materials and submit your thoughts and concerns about the future of your river a.s.a.p and by December 3rd.

We hope you’ll consider giving your voice on behalf of the river and speak for the most natural conditions to support clean water and a more connected river system. Together we can chart a future that sees our shared resources in fish and wildlife as essential and necessary for healthy rural communities and the Long Tom’s Indigenous first stewards alike.
