WELCOME . . . . . And thanks for visiting our website. Please let us know how well it fits your needs at Contact Us. The Council is a volunteer group of citizens who meet monthly to learn about the watershed, keep current on watershed plans and actions, and take local action to plan and participate in restoration projects.

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.
