The Land Use Advocacy Committee

• Fourth Tuesday of each month, 6:30-8pm
• Location TBD; contact Jason Howard, Land Use Committee Chair at jasonhoward@h2ogeo.com for more information.

"Our mission is to protect the resources of the Johnson Creek Watershed by promoting community involvement in regulatory and judicial processes affecting the Watershed."

Do you have an interest in the ins and outs of local land use planning? Do you ever wonder how or why a local housing or industrial development occurred? Do you ever wonder who provides the voice for the protection of our local natural resources? Or are you interested in how open spaces are created? If so, join us. We are always looking for motivated volunteers who want to assist with protecting the resources of the Johnson Creek watershed. Opportunities include reviewing land use permit applications, providing technical advice and support to land use advocates, and talking with community members about the land use process. Knowledge of local land use issues is appreciated but not required to get involved.

The Outreach Task Force

The Outreach Task Force is dedicated to reaching out to the community to inspire and facilitate investment in the Johnson Creek Watershed. The Outreach Task Force gets people involved in watershed activities by representing the Council at a number of different public events. These events include street fairs and farmer markets to nonprofit and volunteer fairs. Members of the Task Force engage with the public – speaking on behalf of the Council about our volunteer opportunities, publications, and upcoming events.

The way to healthy watershed is through people. For more information please contact Amy at (503) 652-7477, or email
