Core offering

Skagit Watershed Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves as the designated Lead Entity for Washington's salmon recovery program in the Skagit and Samish Watersheds. It coordinates voluntary habitat restoration projects across 46 member organizations, administers annual grant rounds prioritizing projects for funding, provides technical assistance and science-based prioritization, and delivers community education on watershed stewardship.

Product overview

SKAGIT WATERSHED COUNCIL is a non-profit community partnership for salmon habitat restoration and protection formed in 1997. Rather than a unified software product, the organization offers a portfolio of programs and services including the Lead Entity Program (which administers salmon recovery funding through a committee-based grant round process), the Salmon Recovery Portal (a project mapping and tracking database), Community Engagement Program (educational outreach), strategic habitat plans (Middle Skagit Initiative, Sauk River Habitat Plan), educational workshops (Skagit Salmon Science Series, North Sound Riparian Conference), and publications (Skagit STEAM Educator Resource Guide). The organization also hosts community events like the annual Illuminight Winter Walk. These offerings work together to facilitate voluntary salmon recovery based on science and community collaboration.
