Salmon-Drift Creek Watershed Council

How can you help the SDCWC and support its mission?

There many opportunities for different kinds of involvement and support.

Become aware of watershed issues: SDCWC holds monthly public meetings that include presentations by experts, local people, and agency or public officials on topics of interest to SDCWC residents. Attendance at three of six meetings allows attendees to participate in advisory votes. Meetings are usually held the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30PM in the North Lincoln Hospital Education Room.

Volunteer monitoring and restoration projects: SDCWC has held over 5 outdoor work days each year in a variety of locations in the Salmon River and Drift Creek watersheds. For volunteer opportunities and job descriptions, click here.

Technical and organizational advisory committee participation: SDCWC is looking for volunteers with special skills and interests who can help with monitoring and restoration proposal development and review as well as with volunteer recruiting, public education, and fundraising.

Join our mailing lists to stay informed. We have two public mailing lists.

The general mailing list will keep you informed of meetings and volunteer events. It has low, moderated traffice, usually 1-3 emails per month. To join the general list, send email to general-subscribe@salmondrift.org
The talk list is unmoderated and intended to have discussion of topics and sharing of news or events of relevance, at least tangentially, to the watershed council. Currently this list is low traffice (0-4 emails/month.) To join the talk list, send email to talk-subscribe@salmondrift.org.

Donate items. Below is a list of current needs.

Outdoor lighting (solar powered and/or motion detecting?) The path to our office is dangerously dark, which is a problem for meetings and when we work late nights. This is especially concerning as the neighborhood isn't particularly safe (we've had a break-in already.) The school doesn't seem willing to provide something.
Medium/large LCD monitor
Screen for projections
Room dividers cubicle walls
LED lighting. Flickering flourescents are hard on the eyes and spirits. LEDs are energy efficient but a little pricey for us, but we want them anyway. Floor lamp or track style preferred. Needs to be installed with minimum impact to the wall.
Conference Table with chairs
Extension cords
Nicer speakers that can hook into a computer. We use these while working and if showing a film. Current ones are ok but low quality and not enough volume for movie showing to a room of people.
