The Council meets the second Thursday of each month at 6:30pm at the Mac Water Reclamation Facility.

We are especially excited about our partnership with Yamhill County Parks as we restore the wet prairie habitat at Deer Creek County Park, one of the largest remnant wet prairies remaining in the lower Willamette, with a wide variety of wildflowers including Kincaid’s lupine and other native plants and animals.  Last year, council members and other volunteers collected seed from native plants at the site.  Using a design from a technical assistance grant, we recently completed the initial construction phase.  We plan to control invasive weeds, re-seed the site with native plants, and construct a viewing platform in 2009.
