The mission of the Coquille Watershed Association is to work collaboratively with communities and landowners to develop and implement voluntary watershed restoration, enhancement, and community engagement activities that promote healthy and resilient ecosystems and economies in the Coquille watershed.
Watershed restoration improves the condition of streams, rivers, and nearby land to benefit fish, wildlife, and water quality. Typical projects include removing barriers, planting native plants, and stabilizing stream banks.
Salmon habitat is vital for healthy fish populations and supports the broader ecosystem. Salmon are a key indicator of environmental health.
Sites are selected using scientific data, community feedback, and ecological priorities. Focus is placed on areas with the highest potential for positive impact.
Anyone can participate, including community members, landowners, and volunteers. Opportunities include fieldwork, events, and planning.
Funding comes from grants, partnerships, and donations, with support from local, state, and federal sources.
