Zusammenfassung
In Oregon, community-based organizations have become major agents of watershed restoration. The most common of these
organizations are watershed councils, which began to emerge in the mid-1990s as the State of Oregon promoted voluntary local
approaches to resolving conflict, restoring watershed health, and recovering endangered salmon. Because these nongovernmental
organizations represent a significantly different approach to watershed management from traditional government management,
regulatory, and extension models, it is important to understand how they mobilize human resources to manage themselves and carry out
restoration work. How watershed councils mobilize resources greatly affects the scope and scale of restoration efforts in Oregon. This
briefing paper summarizes the findings from a study that explores how watershed councils have built the organizational capacity and
human resources necessary to manage themselves and implement watershed restoration.
