The Council meets in the evening, bi-monthly on the last Tuesday of the month beginning in January each year. Locations rotate around the watershed for tours, panel discussions and presentations.
The Long Tom Watershed Council specializes in work on private lands and brings immense value to the watershed and community by improving water quality and habitat for fish and wildlife. In the past two years the council designed or completed 25 restoration projects, surveyed 270 culverts, and conducted sampling relevant to small towns’ contribution to the water quality picture. A new 10-year Action Plan prioritizes activities and supports landowners in stewardship work. We believe that education is part of doing business—things like volunteer planting days, training local equipment operators, and helping citizens gain experience in community leadership.
