The Luckiamute Watershed Council (LWC) is a volunteer group of neighbors from diverse perspectives working together to learn about the watershed and doing what they can to improve local water quality and habitat conditions.
Our mission is "to engage and assist landowners and communities in the voluntary protection, restoration and enhancement of the Luckiamute and Ash Creek watersheds." We seek to foster good stewardship of natural resources and to develop an improved understanding of the area’s biological diversity. Read more about us here. Project Spotlight: Smithfield Oaks Cultural BurnThanks to funding from Roundhouse Foundation and Polk Soil & Water Conservation District, we were able to support the creation of this video by Brian Bull, which highlights the efforts of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, the Traditional Ecological Inquiry Program, landowners and local organizations to re-kindle a relationship with fire at Smithfield Oaks, a Polk SWCD property located near Rickreall.
