The mission of the Oswego Lake Watershed Council is to foster stewardship, education, participation, and financial support for the purpose of the conservation, restoration, enhancement, and maintenance of watershed functions that achieve and sustain a healthy watershed.
Join Our Oak Engagement Project!
We are excited to invite you to take part in the next big step for Lake Oswego Oaks — community survey days! These family-friendly events are a fantastic opportunity to connect with neighbors, participate in a field project, learn how to survey, and contribute to a growing community science effort. We’ll provide all tools, light refreshments — just bring a charged cell phone and your curiosity!
We are also looking for volunteers to help by signing the Oak Accord, a volunteer commitment to protect and restore the remaining Oak ecosystem in our area. We will provide direction for what we need to do. This includes neighbor-to-neighbor outreach, oak survey and signing up for Oak restoration.
Let’s continue building momentum for oak habitat protection, one tree (and one neighbor) at a time!
