Check out our annual report, which includes photos and stories from some of our most exciting projects in 2024. This is a great place to learn about the types of work we do (restoration, monitoring, plants, invasive species, outreach, education, art, celebration...), how we are funded, how we use those funds, and who we need on our team to make this work happen.
All of our funds go to on-the-ground needs that tie directly to our mission. A large portion goes straight to local contractors, whether they are building bridges, putting logs into streams, producing videos, or painting murals. Look for the bold text throughout the report to see all of our amazing local contractors, without whom this work would simply not be possible.
Thank you for your support and partnership! We hope to see you around the watershed in 2025!
The Mayfly Festival is a free, all-ages, hands-on celebration of watershed ecology and interconnectedness through activities, games, live music, science, and art! It was created by the Coos Watershed Association and other local groups to shed light on the connections between community, the environment, and water.
What makes it special? You can dance to good music, eat some really good local food, make a costume, dip a net into the Mingus Pond to see what lives there, and learn about fish, insects, plants, compost, marine debris, gardening, the connections between human health and environmental health, and so much more!If you are a fan of music, nature, art, good food, and science, this is an event you will not want to miss!
