River Basin Council |
 |
We are a local voluntary Watershed Council,
founded in 1997 with
representatives elected from 21 diverse member groups in the
basin. We
meet monthly as a consensus-based forum to foster partnerships for
clean water, healthy streams and abundant fisheries in our watershed. Our aim is to protect and improve water quality and fish and wildlife habitat, and support
the quality of life for those who live, work and recreate in
the Clackamas River basin.
Oregon's Clackamas River
flows 83 miles from its headwaters on Ollalie Butte, just south of Mt. Hood,
west into the Willamette River near Oregon City. It drains a
total area (watershed) of nearly 1000 square miles. We consider the entire river drainage and focus our effors along the main stem and the tributary streams that enter the Clackamas River below Estacada.
Our council's five main action areas:
- Council Development
- Stream Improvement
- Monitoring
- Assessments & Research
- Outreach & Education
