2017 Annual Report Now Available!
Wow! What an incredible 20th Anniversary Year!
While finalizing this year’s annual report, some of the feedback we received was “It’s kind of
long, can you make it any shorter?” The truth is that we can’t – there is just too much to share!
You Did It!
Last spring the council asked the watershed community to give toward an ambitious goal to raise $60,000 for a healthier Long Tom Watershed, and wow did you deliver big! You knocked our $60,000 goal out of the park and invested a whopping $80,331 to benefit the land and water where you live, work and play!
We are humbled by the incredible support you’ve shown this council, and are so appreciative to all of our private and business donors and partners for the care, thoughtfulness, and generosity you’ve shown and gifted your community during this important campaign.
This incredible investment by the watershed community will be used to further our work in the coming year…
