Mission

990 for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • We did not make significant changes to existing programming this year, retaining our four general program areas. In 2024, we nearly doubled the number of people we served through our two main Outdoor Education Programs. Between Salmon Watch and Outdoor School, we provided experiential training opportunities for more than 800 students grades 5-12 as well as their teachers and adult chaperones. We continue to work with neighboring watershed councils to leverage work at a regional scale as well as a local scale, participating in both the Mid-Valley River Connections (MVRC) Network and the Mid-Willamette Beaver Partnership. We began implementation of the $8.7 million NOAA grant that MVRC was awarded and began implementing three of the projects this year. See Schedule O for more details.
