COQUILLE WATERSHED ASSOCIATION

Coquille, Oregon

Our Mission

Our work includes facilitating communication between landowners, citizens, civic organizations, private foundations and governmental agencies to enhance and restore aquatic and wildlife resources in the Coquille watershed. We seek to sustain comprehensive programs for the collaborative and strategic management of local resources by securing funding for ecological activities that represent long-term resource conservation in the Coquille watershed.

Who We Are

The Coquille Watershed Association (CWA) was formed by a small group of local citizens who were concerned about the health of their watershed and its fish and wildlife resources. Since that humble beginning, the CWA has established a well-organized restoration program that is valued and supported throughout the watershed. The CWA operates on a budget of approximately $400,000 a year, and 98% of the funding remains in the watershed in the form of jobs through on-the-ground restoration projects and locally-purchased supplies & materials.
