MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to foster collaborative efforts that maintain, protect,
and restore the Bear Creek watershed - an integral part of the Rogue
River basin.
VISION STATEMENT
The Bear Creek Watershed Council seeks to restore cool, clean,
fishable, and swimmable streams throughout the watershed. We
envision all people who live or work in the watershed working together
to protect the health of the watershed while fostering a strong economy
and community. |
CHALLENGES
Forests, pear
orchards,
Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and great climate make the Rogue
Valley a very attractive high growth area. The council helps
Jackson County and the cities of Medford, Ashland, Phoenix, Central
Point, Talent, and Jacksonville as they address watershed issues,
serving about 140,000
folks.
