One of the best things about Oregon’s approach to watersheds is that it brings people together. Ranchers. Farmers. Environmentalists. Business leaders. Students. Fishermen. Volunteers.

They often start with different points of view. As part of the process, they identify common goals and values. Bridges are built between people and groups that might not normally cross paths. The results are healthier watersheds, mutual respect and a better future for the next generations of Oregonians.

As Oregonians take care of watersheds, we are also building stronger communities.
