Protect the river you love!
This April, in honor of Earth Month, we’re calling on our amazing community of supporters—like you!—to take action for the Columbia River with a gift to protect it.
It’s no secret that our rivers are facing incredible challenges these days, and that's why your support today is so important. Environmental protections have been rolled back nationwide; public funding for research, restoration, and education has been cut; and here in the Pacific Northwest we have had both intense atmospheric rivers and record low snowpack, pointing toward a rough summer for river species.
That’s why right now nature-based solutions like reconnecting and restoring floodplains - like our projects at Steigerwald Lake and the East Fork Lewis River - are critically important. These projects replenish groundwater, protect against flooding, improve water quality, sequester carbon, and provide critical habitat for threatened and endangered salmon.
Be part of the effort to restore one of the Northwest's most critical river ecosystems. Your gift will be put to work right away to support:
🐟 Restoring habitat for endangered salmon
💧 Improving water quality through green infrastructure
🌲 Planting thousands of streamside trees with students and volunteers
🌱 Engaging the next generation with stewardship of their watershed
