THE SANDY RIVER BASIN WATERSHED COUNCIL WORKS TO INFORM AND BRING TOGETHER INTERESTED CITIZENS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO PLAN AND IMPLEMENT PROJECTS TO IMPROVE WATERSHED HEALTH AND RESTORE POPULATIONS OF SALMON THAT ARE LISTED UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT. THE WATERSHED COUNCIL IS THE LOCAL LEAD FOR IMPLEMENTING THE OREGON PLAN FOR SALMON AND WATERSHEDS.
PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS:Watershed Planning and Assessment - The council is engaged in local and basin-wide planning efforts to identify and prioritize actions to improve and restore watershed health. Watershed Restoration - In 2019, Council members, community volunteers,contractors and staff completed the first phase for reconnection of a 1-mile stretch of river floodplain on the upper Sandy. This collaborative, multi-agency effort was recognized by Congressman Earl Blumenauer, who participated in a site visit.Outreach and Education - The Council continued its efforts to inform residents about conditions in the Sandy River Basin and actions that they can take to improve watershed health for fish, wildlife and people. The Council organized several dozen events to engage and educate the public, partnering with 20 organizations and generating more than 4,200 hours of volunteer effort. Our partners included the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Portland Water Bureau, City of Portland, and a range of non-governmental organizations. A dedicated focus of invasive plant species removal also continued in the upper basin along the Salmon River. Landowners were recruited to participate in invasive species removal along the Salmon River. Sandy River Basin Watershed Council also continued in our annual tradition of a multi-day cleanup event from Timberline to Troutdale.Outreach to Landowners in Key Reaches - The Council continued to work with and educate landowners and neighborhood associations in flood-impacted areas. Outreach supported the recommendations from the assessment of Restorative Flood Response strategies to support restoration through stream bank and side channel restoration activities to reduce flood risk.Youth Education - the Council continued the Sandy River Delta Environmental Education Initiative in 2019, which drew over 200 elementary and middle school students from Beaverton, Portland, and Troutdale for full day field trips and classroom visits composed of history lessons and stewardship activities.
