WHO WE ARE
About UsWe were founded in 1976 to oppose the construction of seven dams and generation stations on the White Salmon River, above BZ Corner. We have been a small but mighty, largely volunteer organization since that time.
Our Mission
Protecting watershed health and biodiversity in Klickitat and Skamania counties and the Mt. Adams region; raising public awareness of threats and opportunities; speaking up for streams, forests, and wildlife; and supporting the Yakama Nation in their protection of cultural and natural resources.
How we work
We build local coalitions, elevate community voices, participate in public processes, and persist—even when decision-makers don’t listen. When we’ve been able to tap into the community’s energy and concern, that’s when we’ve seen our greatest successes.
Our story
Why Donate?
The White Salmon and Klickitat Rivers are the pulsing hearts of our local ecosystem.
For over 40 years, we’ve been on the front lines—challenging development that threatens the health of our rivers, forests, and wildlife. As a small but mighty organization, we rely on community support to keep going—and every contribution helps.
There’s no amount too small. When you give, you stand with us to keep these rivers alive for generations to come.
