WWT Strategic Plan 2026-2030
Ensuring healthy flowing rivers and streams into the future requires innovative problem-solving approaches. WWT will strategically focus and grow our efforts over the next five years to address the water crisis threatening our rivers and streams.
Our mission is to protect and restore healthy rivers and streams across Washington so that fish, farms and communities can thrive for generations. We craft smart, collaborative solutions to our freshwater challenges that will withstand the test of time in our rapidly changing world.
Commonly thought of as a water-rich state, Washington's freshwater resources are at risk from past mismanagement, climate change, and increasing demand. The good news is we are doing something about it.
Since 1998, we have worked across the state from the San Juan Islands to the Palouse restoring water to thousands of river miles in more than 50 rivers and streams.
The Teanaway River, a critical tributary in the Yakima basin for salmon, steelhead and trout, struggled for many years, often running dry. Watch our short film Teanaway: A Stream Flows Again to see how people are coming together to help the river make a comeback.

Washington's snowpack is way below normal as of February 2026. We may face another dangerously dry summer. WWT is committed to mitigating the impacts of potential drought conditions on rivers and fish.
Last year, Washington Water Trust and our community lost a special friend, Lorri Bodi. To honor Lorri and continue her work of finding better conservation solutions through collaborative leadership, the Bodi / Eglick family and WWT have launched the Lorri Bodi Water Leadership Program. The Lorri Bodi Water Leadership Program will inspire and develop future water conservation leaders.
Antoine Creek provides threatened steelhead with cold water and spawning habitat in the Okanogan. WWT is working with a local landowner to permanently restore 12 million gallons of water to the creek for fish.
Washington Water Trust just completed one of our largest streamflow restoration projects EVER! We permanently protected more than 250 million gallons of water in the Little Klickitat River to benefit steelhead and salmon.
