Assessment & Project Prioritization

The CWC continues to take advantage of habitat restoration opportunities as they arise through our relationships with community and agency stakeholders in high priority sub-basins or mainstem reaches. When a high priority sub-basin has not been evaluated in detail by the Council’s 2004 assessment, the Coordinator utilizes agencies’ input on fisheries, wildlife, and water resources, as well as GIS data layers gathered from the state and federal government, Linn County, or created in-house using ArcMap, to produce sub-basin site prioritization maps that identify target sub-basin areas and tax lots for strategic landowner recruitment.  The Outreach Coordinator then uses these maps as tools to guide the sub-basin landowner outreach strategy.  Once landowner recruitment is performed, the Council writes grants for technical assistance dollars if the amount required exceeds the regional Landowner Outreach programmatic funds available for small-medium size projects.
