Behind the Scenes at OWC: Part 1

Behind the Scenes at OWC: Part 1

Like a river with many tributaries that join to form a larger body of water, the OWC is made up of many pieces. Maybe you’ve seen OWC planting willows or taking water samples from a creek, or spoken to us at events throughout the watershed—but what makes all this work possible? As a charitable non-profit organization, where does our funding come from, and how do we make decisions? What do we do to help communities and ecosystems in the watershed? To answer these questions, we’re taking a peek behind the curtains at OWC.
