Watershed Assessment

NNWC is a non-profit, non-regulatory organization whose mission is to provide a forum for public participation and education regarding decisions that affect those who live, work and recreate in the watersheds, now and in the future.

NNWC receives state and federal grants to fund watershed restoration activities. NNWC then awards contracts to and purchases supplies from local businesses. NNWC encourages participation from women and minority-owned businesses.

The Nestucca Watersheds Council was formed in 1995. The Council was officially designated by the Tillamook County Commissioners in 1996 and became incorporated in 1997. The name was changed to the Nestucca-Neskowin Watersheds Council (NNWC) in June 1997, to reflect the expansion of the Council to include the Neskowin Watershed. The Sand Lake Watershed was added to the Council in 2003. The Council is comprised of landowners, industry representatives, and interested private citizens. A Board of Directors is responsible for conducting business and organizing activities for the Council. Board meetings are open to the public and occur eight months out of the year.

NNWC's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is made up of public land representatives and private citizens who own, manage, or have jurisdiction/regulatory responsibility over land within the Nestucca and Neskowin Watersheds. The Council works with the TAC to prioritize actions and set yearly work plans.
