Here’s a news release from Oregon Wild that relates to drinking-watersheds, including Jetty Creek. https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2023/10/17/clearcutting-forests-near-drinking-watersheds-could-threaten-supply-conservationists-warn/
On Thursday, December 7, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom, we will have the privilege of hearing from professionally-registered forester Herb Hammond. Now retired, Hammond has over 45 years of experience in the field of forestry research, consulting, and education. His is the voice you'll hear in this 4-minute video about the Peachland Watershed, a watershed that bears an eerie resemblance to the Jetty Creek Watershed. Hammond wrote: "I have spent decades working to protect watersheds, with much of my focus being on watersheds used for consumptive use. However, the principles that govern forest hydrology and what is needed to protect water apply to any watershed.”

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.
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.
Thank you North Coast Community!
