Who are the Lake County Watershed Councils?
The Watershed Councils of Lake County, Oregon are made up of local citizens who want to make long-term improvements in our natural resources and economic well-being. They support landowners’ efforts in sustaing and enhancing the lake, river, and upland systems within each watershed. Each council reflects the interests and land ownership patterns in its particular drainage. The Watershed Councils offer both financial and technical assistance. Learn more>
