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!
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…
The survey for the Lower Long Tom River Plan is now open! This survey is for landowners, residents and stakeholders with an interest in the future management of the Long Tom River and will close on Wednesday, December 13.
Thank you so much to this incredible watershed community for coming out to celebrate our 20th Anniversary! We had over 150 people in attendance for great food, company, conversation and appreciation for the work of so many landowners and partners watershed wide – plus some great local wine from Bennett Vineyards & Wine Companycelebrating the bounty of the watershed! Thank you to the Bennett family for hosting us at their beautiful property, to our passionate and dedicated speakers, to our celebration sponsors Ninkasi Brewing, Stroda Brothers Farm for helping to make the event happen, and to our business supporters of our ongoing 20th Anniversary Fundraising campaign, Armadillo Roofing Inc., The Seneca Family of Companies, and WildCraft Cider Works for their commitment to this watershed and our ongoing work! This was a great bow to put on 20 years of watershed moments, and we’re thrilled at the opportunities ahead for the next twenty! Thank you for a beautiful evening in the watershed! #loveyourlongtom
