If you have stream or riverside property in the Nehalem Watershed and are interested in improving salmon habitat on your property, we’re interested in hearing from you! This project supports landowners in the Nehalem Watershed in restoration of critically important habitat for Coho salmon. If you are interested, please fill out the interest form below and the NLEI team will reach out to you with more information.

Join us at an event this Fall. At our upcoming public meeting and other local events (listed to right/below) we will be showcasing examples of salmon habitat restoration work and habitat restoration opportunities available to residents of the Nehalem Watershed. More information on the Nehalem Basin Partnership is available here.

This work is funded by grants from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund. We thank them for their support of habitat restoration in the Nehalem Watershed.
