The Marys River is one of five major Coast Range tributaries of the Willamette River. It drains 310 square miles of forested, agricultural, and urban lands. The Marys River Watershed Council’s primary purpose is to promote broad and informed public participation in ecologically and economically sound sustainability and improvement of natural resources and environmental quality in the Marys River Watershed.

On February 13, 2012, MRWC Chair Thom Whittier gave a talk at the Corvallis City Club about the Marys River Flood of 2012.
