I am pleased to share Washington Water Trust’s 2023 Annual Report that marks our 25th anniversary.
As you will see in the report, our supporters and partners helped us save salmon during last summer’s drought in the Dungeness and advance recycled water as a sustainable water source in the Sammamish Valley. Their assistance fueled our first flow restoration project in the Klickitat watershed and protected water instream permanently in the Walla Walla River.
Over the past 25 years, Washington Water Trust has focused on fixing Washington’s water challenges. Our collaborative approach has resulted in 5.7 billion gallons of restored water flowing annually in rivers and streams across 17 watersheds. Today, this flow provides critical habitat for salmon, steelhead, and many other species.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us achieve so much in our first 25 years. There is still much to do, however, to ensure a sustainable freshwater future for our fish and our communities.
You can help us kickstart our next 25 years and make a big splash! The first $10,000 donated now through May 8 will be matched dollar for dollar. Make a tax-deductible donation today to double your impact for healthy rivers and streams. Every drop counts.
