Our Mission
We foster partnerships for clean water and to improve fish and wildlife habitat and the quality of life for those who live, work and recreate in the watershed.
We accomplish this by:
- Undertaking watershed restoration to increase the abundance, diversity, and productivity of native resident and anadromous (salmon and steelhead) fish populations throughout the basin.
- Protecting and enhancing the quality and quantity of source water for domestic water supplies to meet an increasing population.
- Controlling non-native weeds, and restoring native vegetation to improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
- Engaging communities and landowners in watershed improvement projects that protect and enhance the natural resources.
When the river thrives, we all thrive—especially when we work together.”
