About

We are located in Curry County, on the southern Oregon coast adjacent to California. This area of the Oregon coast features incredible diversity: there are five wild and scenic rivers as well as three wilderness areas; several hundred miles of streams and rivers; dozens of rare plants and animals, and a multitude of other attractions. The nationally famous Rogue River flows through the middle of the county, offering boaters and anglers unparalleled opportunities for recreation.

South Coast Watershed Council
Serves as the “umbrella” group for the smaller councils in Curry County. This territory stretches from 4 mile Creek near Bandon south to the Winchuck River in the Redwoods country near the California border. The Council actively pursues “community-based restoration” and seeks to involve landowners and citizens in protecting freshwater salmon habitat in our area.

Lower Rogue Watershed Council
Covers the beautiful Lower Rogue River and its tributaries from mile 55 downstream to the the ocean at Gold Beach. We work with voluntary landowners and the community to protect, enhance and restore the natural resources and economic stability of the watershed by providing a coordinated, basin-wide approach to resource planning and management.

Curry Soil and Water Conservation District

The Curry SWCD has worked with the agriculture community of Curry County since 1953.  Major agricultural products in the County include small woodlots, cattle, and cranberries.  The district provides technical and financial assistance to landowners wishing to improve their land and water management.  The district board of directors is comprised of elected resident landowners serving voluntary four-year terms.

 The development of this Internet web site for the South Coast Watershed Council and Lower Rogue Watershed Council was funded in part with funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through the Jobs in the Woods Program.
