The council meets every third Tuesday of the month at 6pm.
The North Fork John Day Watershed Council has recently developed a Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA). The CWMA is intended to bring together those responsible for noxious weed management within the watershed to develop common management objectives, set realistic management priorities, facilitate effective treatment, and coordinate weed control efforts. Our CWMA has helped to treat almost 2,000 acres of noxious weeds including Mediterranean sage, yellow starthistle, scotch thistle, water hemlock, diffuse knapweed, whitetop, plumeless thistle, squarrose knapweed, and medusahead rye. Biological control agents have also been collected and distributed for yellow starthistle, toadflax, leafy spurge, knapweed, and Mediterranean sage.
