Nehalem Landowner Engagement Initiative

Greetings from the Nehalem Basin Partnership! If you’ve received a postcard about the Nehalem Landowner Engagement Initiative, we’re interested in hearing from you and would appreciate your responses to this form. This project aims to involve landowners in the Nehalem watershed in restoration of critically important habitat for Coho salmon.

The Nehalem Basin Partnership is hosting a series of project site tours and public meetings to share salmon habitat restoration work that has been done in the Nehalem Watershed. Details about the project site tours and public meetings about this initiative are listed to the right (below on mobile). 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.
