Community. Collaboration. Conservation.
The Necanicum Watershed Council is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the well-being of all communities, both human and wildlife, that rely on the Necanicum Basin. Through hands-on restoration, conservation education and community collaboration, we believe that there is an economically and ecologically equitable future for all life on the north Oregon coast.
Who We Are

In the 1990’s a group of passionate community volunteers came together to start devising a plan to protect and enhance the habitat of the Necanicum Basin. By 1997, when the Oregon legislature passed the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds, these volunteers had started to ramp up their efforts and had a clear vision for a sustainable ecological future on the north coast. A decade later the Necanicum Watershed Council became an official 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofit organization.
What We Do
“I understand that everything is connected,
that all roads meet, and that all rivers flow into the same sea.”
