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. 

In a watershed that is more than 92% privately owned, the Long Tom Watershed Council brings immense value to the watershed and community. Here a crane sets the final concrete slab for a bridge that replaced an impassible culvert on Coyote Creek.  This project opened up fish passage to over 40 miles of habitat upstream.  This biennium the Council completed 11 restoration projects, facilitated 8 other projects, and conducted a riparian tree planting program that resulted in stream shading by 3,000 trees on 45 properties. The Council identifies priority areas, contacts landowners and works alongside them to find solutions to known watershed problems.  The Council takes the time to include significant citizen learning in every activity. The Council’s water quality monitoring program provides the only watershed-wide data available to analyze restoration needs and start seeing long-term trends.

New Bridge on Coyote Creek opened up 42 miles of historic habitat for native cutthroat trout.
