Our Story
The Council for Watershed Health (CWH) was founded in 1996 by environmental advocate Dorothy Green. The organization aims to promote efficient stormwater resource use by providing leadership, guidance, and technical assistance to agencies and organizations. CWH has a proven track record in strengthening regional watershed planning, measuring progress towards healthier urban environments, and fostering a landscape ethic that reduces water use through native vegetation planting. Today, CWH addresses the complexities of water resiliency in a changing climate, focusing on urban stormwater capture, community capacity building, and sustainable landscapes.
