| Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board Strategic Plan |
 |
|
 |
| FINAL DRAFT - September 2009 |
|
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board began a strategic planning process in June and the Board approved the Final Draft of the plan at its September 2009 meeting. The plan is intended to provide high level strategic guidance and direction to help restore and protect Oregon’s watersheds in light of significant driving forces like human use, population growth, urbanization, and climate change. The plan represents OWEB’s thinking about how to continue the work on behalf of Oregon citizens; it does not attempt to review or address all of OWEB’s responsibilities and programs.
Plan Goals
Goal 1: Restore and sustain resilient ecosystems through program and project investments that incorporate watershed and ecosystem functions and processes and community needs.
Goal 2: Support an enduring, high capacity local infrastructure for conducting watershed restoration and conservation.
Goal 3: Provide information to help Oregonians understand the need for and engage in activities that support healthy watersheds.
Goal 4: Build and maintain strong partnerships with local, state, tribal and federal agencies, nonprofit organizations and private landowners for watershed health.
Goal 5: Ensure highly efficient and accountable administration of all investments.
