Water & Forests & Fish
Drift Creek is home to populations of salmon and steelhead, old growth temperate rainforests of global significance, and serves as home to culturally important species such as Roosevelt Elk, Spotted Owls and Marbled Murrelets.
Community
For generations people have built connections to restore, preserve, and safeguard the watershed for all. We aim to align people from diverse backgrounds, building collective power to help shape the future.

We share the abundance of the Oregon Coast, connecting landowners, anglers, campers, birders, foragers, hunters, photographers, and nature lovers through its pristine waters, thriving wildlife, and natural beauty. Together, we envision a healthy watershed where clean streams support abundant fish, forests provide refuge for wildlife, and the land inspires recreation and discovery. We honor our legacy by ensuring it remains a source of connection, nourishment, and inspiration.
