Samara Group partnered with GeoEngineers to develop a 10-year Watersheds Action Plan for the North Clackamas watersheds. This Watersheds Action Plan contains actions for all agencies and partners that operate within the North Clackamas watersheds, as well as the Council, where each partner can play to their strengths. Samara Group led the team’s planning efforts to organize available data, assess gaps in information, set plan objectives and strategies, facilitate stakeholder engagement and input, and oversee the data analysis informing the final plan’s effectiveness for the North Clackamas Watersheds Council as well as the partners they work with. The team interviewed multiple stakeholder organizations, evaluated over 300 reference records, re-defined the urban watershed boundaries, and developed an outline of objectives and assessment questions intended for presentation to interested community and jurisdictional representatives for discussion and input.
