The West Willamette Watersheds (W3) Collaboration brings together communities, organizations, and jurisdictions across a 42-mile stretch of the Willamette River to coordinate watershed planning and stewardship. This shared approach strengthens ecological health, climate resilience, and habitat connectivity in areas without dedicated watershed council support.
Our Beaver Habitat Restoration work improves stream health by creating beaver-friendly conditions through invasive removal and native planting. These efforts slow water, improve water quality, and create wetland habitat while engaging students and volunteers in hands-on watershed stewardship.
