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.
Spring into Action at our Native Plant Nursery
We need your help transplanting our seedlings every Friday through May 15 from 10am–1pm in Tillamook! We have 10,000 plants that need to be moved into their own pots so they can keep growing big and strong. We can’t do this without you, come lend a hand!
Our Programs
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.
Tillamook County: Our work is all around you
Look around Tillamook County, and you’ll understand instantly that healthy estuaries mean a healthy local economy. We’re all connected to these waters. That’s why we work to restore our rivers, streams, and bays — for us, and generations to come.
