The Upper Willamette SWCD serves approximately 66% of Lane County and encompasses nearly 2 million acres. Our District extends from the crest of the Cascade Mountains westward along the Lane County boundary on the west, from the Linn/Benton County lines on the north, and to the Douglas County line on the south.
