Clean Air - Clean Water - Healthy Forests

 
 

You may have heard in the wind… or maybe in the rustling leaves or babbling brook…

The Forest Poets event showcased yet another reason why our forests and watersheds are so critical to our health and wellbeing.  In case you missed it, or if you want to enjoy it again, click below to enjoy a recording of the event.

Artists of all kinds populate much of the Northern Oregon Coast. Why is this the case? One hypothesis is that the unique and nurturing environment feeds creativity, connectivity, and introspection.  You can learn more about the poets below.

Our Mission


North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is a grass-roots association of citizens from Rockaway Beach and surrounding communities. The group began in 2012 with the actions of one Rockaway citizen concerned about clear cutting for forestland and aerial spraying in the Jetty Creek Watershed - the sole source of her community's drinking water.

The group now partners with neighboring communities facing air- and water-quality issues and with statewide organizations advocating for forest practices that will ensure clean air and water for all living beings.

Our Goals

  • To educate citizens about the connection between forest practices and the quality of their air and water.
  • To advocate for forest practices that will ensure clean air and water.
  • To support communities working to protect their watershed.
  • No more clearcutting and pesticide spraying in our drinking water sources, regardless of land ownership.

Sign the Petition

Please Sign Our Petition to Protect Coastal Drinking Watersheds

We've recently launched a petition, "Stop Clearcutting, Slash Burns and Pesticide Sprays Near Drinking Water Sources on the Oregon Coast" aimed at building momentum around protecting our forests and drinking watersheds.

Please sign the petition and share it with everyone you know.
