Tillamook County
Tillamook County is located on the northern Oregon coast. Natural resources of valuable forests, rivers and their estuaries, agriculture lands, and the Pacific Ocean are all found in the county. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and its partners have been working to address resource concerns affecting the quality of our natural resources and the human environment. Through technical and financial assistance NRCS works with private landowners to address resource concerns on their land.

Local Work Group Meetings
Every year, NRCS hosts a Local Work Group meeting where farmers, landowners, conservation partners and other members of the community discuss the natural resource needs for the county. Based on feedback from those meetings, NRCS updates the county's Long Range Plan and develops new Conservation Implementation Strategies to address those resource concerns. You may contact us anytime to express concerns or comments about conservation needs in the county, and we encourage you to attend the next Local Work Group meeting in your county. For more information about Local Work Group meetings, contact your local NRCS office.
