| The South Santiam Watershed Council (SSWC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization representing a broad range of stakeholders who live, work, and recreate in the South Santiam Watershed. Stakeholders participating on the SSWC include rural and urban residents, private landowners, private timber industry, agricultural interests, local businesses, community organizations, schools, and city, county, state, and federal governments. |
| The SSWC has completed its 2005-2007 Council workplan, which details specific actions planned for the upcoming biennium. |
| To involve local people in the enhancement and protection of the South Santiam River Watershed for the social and economic benefit of its landowners, managers, and users. |
| The SSWC meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at the Lebanon Senior Center. Meetings begin at 6:00 pm, and offer citizens an opportunity to discuss natural resource issues in a unique forum with many points of view represented. |
| The SSWC is always looking for new members and volunteers. Membership is free and includes opportunities to see beautiful parts of our watershed. Our members play a vital role in the direction and goals of the watershed council. If you are interested in natural resources, community affairs, or ways to grow the local economy; please consider joining us. |
| The SSWC recruits volunteers throughout the community for a variety of projects. We coordinate the annual "SOLV Down-By-The-Riverside" event in the spring, hold a summer water quality monitoring program in the summer, and have various tree and shrub plantings throughout the year. All are welcome, if you want to show off your green thumb or just want to help clean up your community, feel free to contact us. |
