Johnson Creek Watershed Council is, first and foremost, a community. Like most non-profit organizations, we have a board and staff. But we also have volunteers: last year we had2,188 volunteer signups and volunteers who gave 9,560 hours of their time.

We also have partner organizations: 18 7 local and state agencies also contrib- companies sent teams of volunteers or con- uted. Many of them are leading their own tributed financially to the council. restoration projects in the watershed. Photo: Ken Rumbough

It takes all of us to achieve our mission of science-based restoration and community involvement.
