The Council meets at the ODFW office in Tillamook at 4907 Third St. from 6:30-8:30 on the last Tuesday of every month.
In 2007, the Tillamook Bay Watershed Council accomplished our first large scale watershed project, which focused on removing six fish passage barriers. As a result of the project, we opened over 1.5 miles of stream and improved fish habitat by placing over 75 logs in the creek and floodplain. The council brought together 10 different partners to complete the project, including private industrial timber, local landowners, and state agencies. The project also provided an on-the-ground laboratory for Tillamook High School Natural Resource Science classes, giving them an opportunity to learn about watershed health and restoration activities in the field.
