About
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 2018, Council members, community volunteers,contractors and staff planted approximately 40 acres of trees and shrubs within the Sandy River Delta. With the goal to restore the native forest Eco-system, multiple methods of restoration were used including aggressive invasive plant species removal, native plantings, and wetland protective fencing. Design for reconnection of a 1 mile stretch of river floodplain on the Upper Sandy River was completed successfully.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 6,600 hours of volunteer effort by over 4,800 volunteers. 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 enacted a Timberline to Troutdale cleanup multi-day event.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 2018, which drew over 300 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.
