The mission of the Oswego Lake Watershed Council is to foster stewardship, education, participation, and financial support for the purpose of the conservation, restoration, enhancement, and maintenance of watershed functions that achieve and sustain a healthy watershed.
Join Our Oak Engagement Project!
We are excited to invite you to take part in the next big step for Lake Oswego Oaks — community survey days! These family-friendly events are a fantastic opportunity to connect with neighbors, participate in a field project, learn how to survey, and contribute to a growing community science effort. We’ll provide all tools and light refreshments — just bring a charged cell phone and your curiosity! We’ll provide clear guidance on how you can help, including neighbor-to-neighbor outreach, oak surveys, and signing up for restoration efforts.
Let’s continue building momentum for oak habitat protection, one tree (and one neighbor) at a time!
Enjoy a video recording of the hopeful and enlightening conversation on Oregon White Oak habitat restoration in the Willamette Valley presented by Nicole Maness from the Willamette Partnership.
