About North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection:
In 2012, NCCWP was founded in Rockaway Beach, Oregon by citizens who were concerned about the mass clearcutting and aerial pesticide spraying of their primary source of surface drinking water, the Jetty Creek Watershed. Since 2000, that watershed has been about 90% clearcut by timber companies and then sprayed with pesticides. Since NCCWP was established, we have gained many new members on the North Coast of Oregon. We now have over 1,600 members, mostly in the region from Lincoln City to Astoria. We advocate for no more logging, pesticide spraying, nor slash burning within Oregon drinking watersheds, regardless of ownership.
Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have.
