Long Tom’s Work Featured in National Documentary Connecting Whales, Fish & Forests!

Did you know that the work of the Long Tom Watershed Council (LTWC) is directly connected to the health of Orcas in the Pacific North West’s Southern Resident Pod?

The film illuminates how river work in the Long Tom, and our work on the Willamette main-stem at Snag Boat Bend, and Sam Daws Landing (alongside numerous regional partners working up and down the Willamette river and Pacific Northwest), supports fish populations that are part of the pod’s diet as they cruise the west coast in search of salmon.

You can check out this 12 minute documentary (look for Jed at minute 7:30) on the food web connections between PNW forests and Orcas by visiting Youtube
