The Watershed Council hosts and participates in nature-focused field days for local schools. Events include Marys Peak field day, where local middle school students travel to Marys Peak and learn about the ecology and history of the region and Philomath field day, where Philomath High School students use Philomath city park as an outdoor classroom, remove invasive species, and plant trees.

The Youth Watershed Council is a program where a group of local high school students engage in outdoor recreation, career development, and peer mentoring. Youth Watershed Council students also get to take their knowledge to community outreach events and encourage others to engage with the watershed.

The Watershed Council participates in events aimed at introducing science and ecology concepts to elementary school students. Outreach events include bringing ecology-themed activities to local elementary school STEAM nights, where students learn about watersheds, pollution, and ecology. Watershed Council staff also participate in the annual Salmon Watch program, where students travel to rivers like the Alsea to learn about, and watch, salmon migration.

The Watershed Council connects with and provides support for high school environmental clubs. MRWC staff and volunteers attend events where extra hands are needed. MRWC staff and volunteers bring educational materials and activities to events organized by high school environmental organizations like Corvallis High School’s Green Club.
