Gales Creek watershed
Gales Creek watershed is a natural area in Oregon that collects rain and snow, channeling it through streams and rivers into Gales Creek and eventually the larger Tualatin River. This watershed supports local ecosystems, providing habitat for various plants and wildlife, and supplies clean water for communities. It also offers recreational opportunities like hiking and fishing. Protecting the watershed ensures healthy water quality, maintains biodiversity, and sustains the environmental health of the region. Its careful management balances development with conservation to preserve these natural resources for future generations.
