Welcome to FLOW

FLOW’s mission is to provide public education, field monitoring and legal oversight to protect Oregon Waters from pollution and development.

The Oregon Waters Campaign was formed to engage FLOW in advocacy on behalf of these living waters and to protect the life that depends on these waters.

 

Our conservation work is divided into three regions, you can click on the region below to go that region's website:

FLOW North (NW Oregon and Columbia River Basin)

FLOW South (SW Oregon and Upper Klamath Basin)

FLOW East (East of Cascades Mountain Range to Idaho)

 

We are a grassroots volunteer organization. We rely on our commitment, innovation and knowledge to effectively advocate for the protection of Oregon Waters.

 

Monitoring Oregon Waters FLOW needs volunteer field monitors more than ever- particularly to help photodocument impacts of cattle grazing and other sources of pollution affecting Oregon Waters . Click here to send us an email and we will match you to a monitoring project on behalf of Oregon Waters.

9th Circuit Vacates Bradwood LNG license

The 9th Circuit vacated Bradwood license after the State of Oregon, State of Washington, Nez Perce tribe, and a coalition of conservation and citizen groups (Columbia Riverkeeper, Sierra Club, Landowners and Citizens for a Safe Community, Wahkiakum Friends of the River, and Willapa Hills Audubon Society) challenged the license.  The Court ruled that because Bradwood Landing was bankrupt and “the future of the project is currently in grave doubt” that the challenge was moot.  The Court then vacated Bradwood’s license, which means the project cannot be built.
