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
The Snake River once supported millions of salmon and steelhead but now those runs are threatened with extinction. The solution is to remove the four dams on the lower Snake River, invest in infrastructure and renewable energy sources to ensure farmers can still irrigate their crops, and our power is carbon free. It also requires the fundamental restructuring of the Bonneville Power Administration (the federal agency in charge of marketing power from the dams) to eliminate the many conflicts of interests that work to prevent real salmon recovery.  Congressman Mike Simpson of Idaho is leading this charge but it requires support from the rest of the Pacific Northwest Congressional delegation.  

Please contact Congressman Simpson’s Chief of Staff Lindsay Slater and tell him you support their efforts to restore salmon and reform BPA.
