The Council meets the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30pm at the Clackamas County Bank Auditorium in Sandy.
Our council is proud of the role we play in fostering a high degree of collaboration between organizations working in the Sandy Basin. The removal of PGE’s Marmot and Little Sandy dams served as a catalyst for the efforts of the watershed council and the Sandy River Basin partners. The council was active in the decommissioning settlement process and now has scientists monitoring the river’s response to the gravel released when the dam was removed. We are very excited about a project that successfully reconnected five side channels along the Salmon River. The council teamed up with three organizations to strategically address the lack of side channels as a factor that limits the production of salmon in this major tributary.
