Month
after month, volunteers make the work of the Johnson Creek Watershed
Council possible. Whether it's through planting trees and removing
invasive species, reviewing land use applications, planning watershed
events, attending meetings or advising on restoration projects,
volunteers are the heart of the Johnson Creek Watershed Council.

Metro has a variety of done-in-a-day and recurring
restoration projects available at parks and natural areas across the
region suitable for groups of all sizes and ages.
Is your service club, faith group, school or scout troop
looking for a service project? Is your workplace planning a
team-building day? Metro's 12,000-plus acres of natural areas and parks
offer a variety of done-in-a-day and recurring restoration projects
suitable for groups of all sizes and ages. Most of Metro's natural areas
and parks need active and ongoing restoration to enhance their habitat
value for native plants and animals and to protect water quality. From
building beaver fences around vulnerable trees to digging erosion
control "water bars" on trails to planting native trees, volunteer
groups play a key role in Metro's stewardship efforts.
The Clackamas River Water Providers is a coalition of the municipal
water providers on the Clackamas River that are working together on
water resource issues. The purpose of the organization is to
collectively fund and coordinate efforts regarding water resource
planning and management, water conservation and the development of the
Clackamas River on a sustainable basis.
We foster partnerships for clean water and to improve fish and
wildlife habitat and the quality of life for those who live work and
recreate in the watershed.
The Oregon Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) is a
cooperative venture between the State of Oregon and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency with support from local soil
and water conservation districts. The purpose of the program is to
restore, maintain, and enhance streamside areas along agricultural lands
to benefit fish, wildlife, and water quality. Landowners enrolled in
CREP receive annual rental payments, incentive payments, and cost share
payments to install conservation measures such as planting trees and
shrubs, installing fencing, livestock watering facilities, and other
approved conservation measures.
