VOLUNTEER

Month after month, volunteers make the work of the Johnson Creek Watershed possible. Whether it's through planting trees, reviewing land use applications, planning watershed events, attending meetings or advising on restoration projects, volunteers are the heart of the Johnson Creek Watershed Council.

If you have a particular area of interest that you would like to work in, special skills to share, or a specific field of knowledge, just let us know. Call us at (503) 652-7477 or email us at and start volunteering today!

The Land Use Advocacy Committee oversees the land use issues related to the creek. They monitor developing areas and support growth that will cause the least negative impact to the creek.

Outreach Task Force

The Outreach Task Force works to involve the community in the work of the JCWC. They plan major events and facilitate specific projects like our tri-annual newsletter, Within Your Reach.

The Restoration Committee will be holding work parties through the summer, on the first Tuesday of every month at different locations throughout Johnson Creek watershed.
