Community Meetings
The first Thursday of each month the MidCoast Watersheds Council hosts a community meeting with a program presented by researchers, professionals and/or project collaborators. Following each presentation is our regular monthly board meeting, which the public is welcome to attend as well. To see what this month’s presentation topic will be, check out our calendar.
volunteer opportunities
Restoration Work parties
Volunteers directly contribute to restoring the watersheds within our working area. During the rainier months-- generally October through February-- restoration efforts focus on planting native species in riparian areas. Throughout the year, invasive species removal occurs, with special emphasis in the spring in summer to prevent harm to recent plantings during the growing season.
Subscribe to our email list to receive full details on each event in your inbox, or keep up with our calendar on your own to learn about the activities to be accomplished each day.
Native Plant Nursery Work Parties
MCWC also partners with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to grow native plants at Brian Booth State Park for use in future restoration projects sites. Help is often needed at the nursery to sow seeds and start shrubs from cuttings, weed, and pot plants.
