Tualatin Riverkeepers

Mission

Tualatin Riverkeepers protects, restores and expands access to the Tualatin River watershed through advocacy and fostering broad community engagement.

Bottom Line

Tualatin Riverkeepers is the only community-based organization that advocates for a healthy Tualatin River. As the Tualatin River traverses from the coastal range, through rural and urban lands, to the confluence with the Willamette River, it provides drinking water to more than half a million people, while also offering fun, family-friendly recreational opportunities. Creating a resilient watershed that can survive the impacts of climate change will be achieved by empowering the community to learn and engage in watershed stewardship and ensuring equitable public access to the Tualatin River.  

Quote

“The Tualatin River is essential for wildlife habitat, our drinking water, and recreation. It is a success story of restoration, going from nearly unusable in the 1960s to the beautiful clear waterway it is now. Tualatin Riverkeepers is committed to building on that success in the face of current challenges, making sure that the River continues to serve people and wildlife. I am happy to contribute monthly to that mission” - Anne Thrall-Nash, Tualatin Riverkeepers Member
