MAKING AN IMPACT
With 30-years of community-driven restoration work behind us, here are a few of the milestones we’re proud to share.
Restoration projects are crafted to improve natural watershed processes such as shading streams, accumulating spawning gravels, & providing winter habitats for native aquatic species.
Marys River Watershed Council offers several outdoor education programs for local schools, providing hands-on, place-based lessons in watershed science & ecology.
There are many ways for you learn more about us and how to get involved, like attending our outreach and volunteer events. Start by subscribing to our newsletter, and following us on social media!

Our Story
Since 1996, the Marys River Watershed Council has brought people together to care for the watershed through collaboration, science, and community stewardship.
What began as a grassroots effort quickly grew into a coordinated, community-driven organization. Early work focused on understanding the watershed through assessments and planning, laying the groundwork for meaningful action. After becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2002, the Council launched a new phase of hands-on restoration and strong partnerships with local landowners.
Over time, the organization strengthened its leadership, expanded its programs, and built lasting impact. In 2010, the Council was recognized for its success with an invitation to join the Willamette Model Watershed Program.
Today, the Council is a thriving, staff-led organization working across restoration, monitoring, and community engagement. As we celebrate 30 years, we honor the partnerships and shared commitment that made this work possible, and look ahead to the future of a healthy, resilient watershed.
