Common Waters Clark County

Welcome to Common Waters!

Hatcheries, Harvest, Hydropower and Habitat. . .

These are the 4-H's or human activities that are acknowledged as variables that are key to recovery of endangered salmon species.

This site was designed to help homeowners and homeowner associations find useful information, particularly on the habitat part of the above equation. This is a particularly challenging topic, as we explore how to preserve and restore our watersheds and the salmon species, while ensuring the continued economic feasibility of our communities.

It's our goal to provide you with a process and materials to hold a dialogue on the topic with your neighborhood association.

Your community may choose to identify additional actions to pursue with regards to stormwater treatment, fertilizers, disposal and recycling activities and/or community volunteer restoration activities.

''Our Pages'' and Our Hotlinks'' contain materials developed by a variety of governmental, business and volunteer groups.

During Summer 2000, you should be able to contact the Fort Vancouver Regional Library to check out a complete meeting kit. Watch for a hotlink to the library, when the books become available.

Materials You Can Use

The ''Our Pages'' links on this page contain a variety of materials which you can use to plan your neighborhood association meeting, including:

~ Planning Your Meeting (a facilitation guide with speaker's bureau info)
~ Know Your Myths from Facts
~ An ''ESA for Beginners'' backgrounder
~ Salmon self-assessment
~ Activities -- Planning & Learning
~ Just For Fun Quiz

Our Leadership Clark County Team

It's not our intent to advocate a position with regards to the ESA listing. Our goal is to motivate citizens to increase their understanding and tolerance for the changes ahead. Our kit references materials developed by a variety of governmental, business and volunteer groups.

Leadership Clark County is an annual program that challenges individuals to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become active and concerned participants in our communities' most important issues. Participants form into small groups to build teamwork skills and to understand and make a contribution to an area of concern in the community. The Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce (GVCC) manages the LCC program, but does not take any responsibility for the content created by our team.
