Tualatin Riverkeepers

Tualatin Riverkeepers (TRK) is a community-based organization that empowers people to protect and restore Oregon's Tualatin River system. TRK builds watershed stewardship through education, access to nature, restoration, and advocacy. Backed by hundreds of dedicated volunteers, TRK is able to lead dozens of educational canoe trips, impact water policy regulations, monitor problems throughout the watershed, facilitate habitat restoration activities, conduct educational programs for youth, and provide support to many Friends groups working for stream and watershed protection. We believe that a healthy river system is vital to building and sustaining a healthy community. Please join us.
