Healthy watersheds for a thriving community.

That’s why we exist

Our dedication to the health and quality of local estuaries is built on the idea that communities rely on our waterways to thrive in commerce, recreation, and overall well-being — now and into the future.

Celebrating 25 Years of Children's Clean Water Festival

25 years of saying yes.

Deputy Director Claudine Rehn has seen it firsthand — community shows up when you invite them. The Children's Clean Water Festival has been connecting kids to Tillamook County's waterways for 25 years because of people just like you.

From the slopes of the Coast Range through forested rivers and out to the bays, we’re restoring and enhancing wetlands, improving the health of our county’s watersheds, and raising awareness about invasive aquatic and plant species.
