Much of the work we do is dependent on volunteer stewards around the Greater Oregon City Watersheds.
Volunteer Events
Saturday March 14th & Friday April 3rd, 2026 Stewardship days at Abernethy Creek!
Join us for a morning of planting, caring for the site, and restoring riparian habitat along Abernethy Creek in Oregon City! We’ll meet at the GOCWC office at 9:00am for coffee and introductions. At around 9:30am we’ll walk over to the project site on Washington St. to plant and tend the site until around 11:30am. Coffee and snacks will be provided-just bring your enthusiasm and a love for the creek!

Stewardship Opportunities
Get outside, learn a little or a lot, and meet new people who are as interested as you in improving and maintaining the land and streams we call home.
The Greater Oregon City Watersheds Council likes to put our shovels and pruners to work, improving degraded streambanks and enhancing riparian habitats. We remove invasive plant species to give space for the native species we plant to thrive. Our stewardship volunteer events are a great way to become personally involved in improving the watersheds we all share.
Project Volunteers
Sometimes, our work gets more involved as we take on larger projects. If you are interested in learning about habitat restoration and remediation, consider becoming a dedicated project volunteer. One day you might be documenting plant species and on another day you may be counting fish or testing water quality. These are longer term commitments that require little to no experience and offer an opportunity to learn as you go.
Drop us an email at Kira@gocwc.org and we can discuss some of our projects.
