The Landowner Recruitment for Restoration Project is an innovative partnership between the South Santiam, North Santiam, and Calapooia Watershed Councils to implement similar watershed restoration projects with private landowners across the three watersheds. The watersheds have similar geographies, natural resource concerns, and rural-residential constituent base.
The project creates a streamlined program where landowners in high priority sub-watersheds receive assistance implementing noxious weed removal and native planting projects that offer tremendous benefit to our watersheds. As of 2011, the program has recruited over 30 landowners across the watersheds to participate in voluntary restoration with many more expected in the upcoming years. Project funding has come from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, City of Salem, and The Nature Conservancy.
