Education and recommendations are offered to the public and landowners for responsible care of riparian and aquatic environments. Events are periodically organized for hands-on volunteer projects.

Seeds for the Sol adds sun-powered electricity production and hybrid heat pump water heaters for low-to-moderate income residences in the Corvallis vicinity. Installations are made by local contractors.
Solarize Corvallis
The Corvallis Sustainability Coalition's Solarize Corvallis program provides financing for large community solar power projects in Corvallis. These photovoltaic systems can be converted to provide emergency power to support essential services during long term blackouts.
