| WORKING
TO KEEP OUR
WATER CLEAN
AND OUR COUNTY
GREEN SINCE
1958
The
Soil and Water
Conservation
District works
in cooperation
with willing
landowners and
the local community
to keep our
county healthy
and pristine.
Through workshops,
habitat enhancement
partnerships,
classes, and
one-on-one technical
assistance we
help Clackamas
County residents
manage natural
resources, improve
our environment,
and realize
the greatest
benefit from
their land,
be it an urban
backyard or
Willamette Valley
farmland. In
our efforts
to improve water
quality, we
work with nursery
and produce
growers, livestock
owners, foresters,
hobby farmers
and neighborhood
homeowners to
balance the
County's environmental
and economic
demands to benefit
our entire community.
27% of Oregonians
receive their
drinking water
from Clackamas
County surface
waters. Couple
that with the
projected growth
of over 1 million
new Oregonians
in the next
20 years, and
the need to
properly manage
and preserve
our water quality
becomes very
clear. One of
the critical
goals of the
Soil and Water
Conservation
District is
to teach citizens
to protect the
land, air and
water that is
critical to
public health
not only today,
but for generations
to come. |
