Website https://www.columbiaslough.org

We believe the Slough is for everyone.

The Columbia Slough Watershed Council brings community members together to enhance the hidden gem we call the Columbia Slough. We improve water quality, heal damaged fish and wildlife habitat, increase public awareness, and advocate for a healthy watershed. Everything we do is possible thanks to the commitment of community members and engagement of local agencies and businesses.
