Our Communities
Naming the Ten Rivers--Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Luckiamute, Marys, Long Tom, Willamette, Calapooia, North and South Santiam, and the Yachats—draws the mind through what is, in essence, our local food shed. This Cascades-to-coast area offers the potential for a rich, varied, and healthful diet for all residents, if we focus on using our resources wisely. Although TRFW divides our focus by county, these rivers and their watersheds remind us of how natural resources, like water, have no real boundaries and are shared by all and their use and protection affect us all.
