OWCA Membership Benefits
As a member of OWCA, you will receive our quarterly newsletter and notification of OWCA events throughout the year. You will be invited to our annual membership meeting, member appreciation event, and our many volunteer activities which focus on improvements to our watershed including water monitoring, waterway restoration, planting flowers, trees, and shrubs native to our area, and removing harmful invasive plant species.
Members can get involved by serving on committees, helping out at events, or offering feedback! Members can also help by reporting any issues observed within the watershed such as water pollution, visible changes to water (i.e. discoloration), siltation, erosion, etc. We will be using our newsletter to spotlight members and their special contributions to OWCA efforts. We appreciate you! You are the heart of the organization, and we are grateful for your support!

Refer a Friend
The best way to expand our membership is through word-of-mouth. If you like OWCA and what it stands for, consider asking your friends to join. As an incentive to our members, for each person that you refer to the OWCA who becomes a member, we will enter your name for a drawing for a prize at our annual membership meeting. Tell your friends to write “referred by” [your name] on the membership form when they so we can thank you and get you into the drawing!
