The council meets every second Wednesday at 6:30pm in the winter and 7:30pm in the summer at University of Idaho Extension in Marsing ID.
The Owyhee Watershed Council initiated more than 30 on-the-ground restoration projects this biennium. The projects are meant to improve watershed health and function, while helping to maintain economic sustainability within the basin. Educational efforts, such as the Owyhee 5th Grade Field Day, are another point of council success. In May 2005 the Owyhee Field Day provided place-based and balanced watershed education to more than 500 local 5th Grade students. In the next biennium, the council also looks forward to developing and administering a small grant program in the Idaho portion of the watershed. The program, called the “Owyhee Restoration Incentive Program”, will facilitate the implementation of small restoration projects.
