SDCWC Mission

Our mission is to promote the protection or restoration of healthy fish and wildlife resources, water quality, water quantity, and overall watershed health by assessing the condition of the watershed, determining restoration strategies, developing and implementing projects and monitoring results.

A watershed is essentially a catch basin that is defined by high points and ridgelines. These higher elevations descend into stream valleys. Precipitation and runoff make their way from the upper reaches of the basin to the ocean though soil, groundwater, streams, and rivers.

Whatever happens upstream (e.g. erosion, pollutant discharge, septic effluence), eventually makes its way downstream.

Final Public Meeting

for Input on the Cascade Head Interpretive Site Design

On Monday, April 17 th at 10:30 am, we hope you will join the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council and the U.S. Forest Service at the Fraser Road parking area to view the elements and concepts for the roadside informational site.

Many of you participated in meetings in September and December 2015. This input was to frame interpretive ideas that would help the community and visitors, including school children, understand the beauty and values of the estuary, forest and wildlife of the USFS's Cascade Head Scenic Research Area. Come see how those ideas have been translated into the proposed display elements and provide your feedback.
