Tualatin Riverkeepers

Tualatin Riverkeepers was established in 1993, with a mission to protect, restore, and expand access to the Tualatin River Watershed. Among its many accomplishments, Tualatin Riverkeepers led the effort to establish the lower Tualatin River as a federally designated water trail in 2020.

Tualatin Riverkeepers’ staff and volunteer activities include:

  • Advocating for the protection and restoration of the Tualatin River watershed.
  • Restoring key watershed sites to their natural state by removing invasive plants and planting native species.
  • Increasing community engagement with the Tualatin River by offering paddle craft rentals, guided paddle trips, and educational events.
  • Working with local jurisdictions along the river to expand community access to the Tualatin River.
  • Maintaining the Tualatin River Water Trail website.
