 The Oregon Model: Case Studies in Strategic Watershed Council Partnerships and Watershed Restoration Planning
ARPIL 28, 2015 | 1pm ET
Oregonians take care of local streams, rivers, wetlands and natural areas through participation in the grassroots "watershed council" model. Community members and landowners use scientific criteria to decide jointly what needs to be accomplished to conserve and improve freshwater resources and habitat locally. The leveraging capabilities and its non-regulatory nature make this model quickly accessible and attractive. Join us as we share the direct impacts of the model on watershed health, as well as a specific case study from the Willamette Basin that illustrates how diverse partnerships and innovative mechanisms are created for landscape-scale watershed conservation and restoration actions. Presentation followed by Q&A. PDH credit available.
