OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION

The mission of Pacific Rivers is to protect and restore the watershed ecosystems of the West to ensure river health, biodiversity and clean water for present and future generations.

REGIONS WE WORK IN

A WATERSHED APPROACH

Protecting rivers requires managing the surrounding lands, or watershed, in a manner compatible with natural ecological processes. This is important so that people, fish and other wildlife are resilient to disturbances like flooding, wildfires and the effects of the global climate crisis. We integrate the best available science, story telling, economic and cultural considerations to create a sustainable future for rivers, fish, wildlife and people.
Pacific Rivers works in Oregon, Washington, Northern California, Idaho and Montana, with plans to expand - because clean water is our most precious life source.

Where you fit in

Pacific Rivers relies on YOU to help us do our work. You care about rivers. You care about clean water. You care about local economies. And you know it’s not possible without a healthy environment.
Take Action
Public Comment is NOW CLOSED for Chehalis River Dam proposal. Thank you for your comments. The Washington Department of Ecology released the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement that evaluates the impacts the proposed dam will have on the environment. Public comment will be open until May 27th. You can help these fish by submitting your comments about the dam today. The Chehalis is the last watershed of its size in the Northwest where salmon and steelhead are not listed under the Endangered Species Act. This is no place for a dam. We encourage the state to relocate at-risk properties to safer ground, flood proof critical infrastructure and restore river and floodplain function in order to reduce flood risk and restore salmon habitat.
