Mission

The Watershed Council is a voluntary organization that brings together local stakeholders from private, local, state, and federal interests in a partnership to improve a defined watershed area. The Council works to plan watershed protection and restoration strategies in a holistic way--from ridge top to ridge top, and from headwaters to mouth. Through this watershed partnership, council members collaborate to identify issues, promote cooperative solutions, focus resources, agree on goals for watershed protection and enhancement, and foster communication among all watershed interests.

The Mid John Day Watershed Council works to improve water quality and watershed conditions in the watershed by working with all interested parties.

Board of Directors

The Mid John Day Watershed Council is composed of a range of stakeholders who all share a vision for collaborative watershed restoration. The board currently seats seven members.
