The Columbia Slough Watershed Council is a nonprofit that unites neighbors, property owners, businesses, environmental groups, recreation advocates, and government agencies to care for the Columbia Slough watershed. Based in Portland, Oregon, it serves a 60-mile network of waterways across the cities of Portland, Gresham, and Fairview and operates as a 501(c)(3) organization. Its purpose is to mobilize action to protect, enhance, restore, and revitalize the Slough and its watershed. As a small to mid-sized nonprofit, it coordinates a diverse coalition to address watershed health and community access. A recent development involves collaboration with the Portland Water Bureau on Aquifer Adventure: A Groundwater Treasure Hunt. This work illustrates the council's role in connecting local stakeholders and public agencies to environmental restoration and public-facing programs within the civic and social sector.
