The Tualatin River was once a regional vacation destination. After years of abuse it became the most polluted river in Oregon.

While much has been accomplished, threats from activities that occur across the landscape: polluted water runoff from urban roads and parking lots, lawns chemicals, farms and clear cuts all continue to impact our water quality.
