What we aim to solve
The Rogue River Watershed Council’s watershed region faces challenges that require innovative solutions. Habitat loss, invasive species, stream-side development, extensive wildfires, and other factors put watershed health at risk. Engaging people of all ages and levels of education and working with organizations and landowners to conserve and improve streams and the land that surrounds them is vital to the communities and the wildlife that depend on water.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Water Quality
Communities throughout southern Oregon rely on the Rogue River and its tributaries as a drinking and irrigation water source, and as a recreation destination. Cool and clean water benefits a multitude of uses as well as fish and wildlife populations.
PROJECTS
The Rogue River Watershed Council works to address issues that pollute and warm the streams in our region. We are developing a collaborative Water Quality Improvement Program that will help us achieve our goal of cleaner water. Specifically, the intent of the program is to address persistent water quality problems that include temperature, dissolved oxygen, sedimentation, bacteria, and nutrients.
Projects such as planting native tree and shrub species along streams, converting from flood to sprinkler irrigation, and reducing stormwater in urban areas provide water quality benefits including decreased stream bank erosion, increased shading, and decreased nutrient bacteria entering the stream.
Stream Restoration
Healthy watersheds contain expansive streamside forests and rivers and streams that flow freely. Healthy watersheds produce cool, clean water. And healthy watersheds accommodate the high flow events during storms and during snowmelt by occupying side channels, streamside ponds, and low lying floodplain areas. Decades of land and water management and development have constrained many of these characteristics through the Rogue River Watershed Council’s area.
PROJECTS
Rogue River Watershed Council identifies conditions in and along streams that limit habitat quality for fish and wildlife and water quality. We reach out to landowners and land managers to discuss these limiting factors, develop approaches to reduce or eliminate the impact, and implement restoration projects to address them.
Community Engagement
The Community Engagement Program is focused on engaging the broader Rogue Basin community through sharing the engaging stories of restoration and stewardship via print and a variety of online and social media.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to restore instream, streamside, and terrestrial habitat, improve water quality, and encourage community members to become stewards of the Rogue River and its tributaries.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Restoring geomorphological and ecological processes through habitat manipulation is a core activity to accomplishing the RRWC’s mission. These activities will produce real improvements in watershed health using holistic approaches.
Water quality improvement through refining water quality improvement plans, developing projects that span long stream segments, recruiting landowners and land managers for project development, and focusing on projects that improve drinking water quality.
Monitoring activities that identify critical water quality limiting factors to support the development of high-priority project opportunities and inform the effectiveness of active restoration activities.
Community engagement that produces opportunities and products intended to elicit increased public awareness, interest, concern, knowledge, motivation, and participation in restoring healthy waters for wildlife and people in the Rogue River watershed.
