We do this by restoring river and stream habitat, providing nutrients for juvenile fish growth, and engaging the community in hands-on salmon stewardship and education. false false 2187864 Restoration Program: The ultimate goal of our restoration work is to help recover ESA-listed salmon and steelhead by increasing their productivity through enhancement of rearing and spawning habitat. LCFEG completed several major projects aimed at improving fish habitat and water quality in local watersheds. One of the highlights was the successful removal of a splash dam on Baird Creek a tributary of the Coweeman opening 1.81 miles of habitat. The group also played a pivotal role in advancing nature-based river restoration projects, such as the sediment retention initiative on the South Fork Toutle River. This project aimed to reduce downstream sediment loading while improving habitat for salmon and steelhead. LCFEG has continued to be a leader in collaborative efforts to restore and protect vital fish habitats across southwest Washington. 58259 Community Engagement: LCFEG made significant strides in community engagement and habitat restoration during the fiscal year 2023 (July 2023 - June 2024). A key component of our community outreach involved educational programs designed to increase public awareness about the importance of habitat restoration and fish conservation. Through partnerships with local schools and volunteer opportunities LCFEG fostered a stronger connection between communities and their natural resources. In particular, the Seeds to Salmon over 460 students and volunteers, teaching them about salmon ecology and the critical role these fish play in regional ecosystems. Additionally, LCFEG organized multiple community planting days, which drew hundreds of participants eager to take part in hands-on restoration activities. 2246123 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true true false WA X Morgan Morris 3608826671 11018 NE 51st Circle VANCOUVER WA 98682 Shauna Hanisch-Kirkbride PhD Managing Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 81336 0 9004 BRIAN DAVERN President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Donaldson Vice President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Byrne Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Jones Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lary Pipes Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed McMillan DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICK YAHRMARKT DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hal Mahnke DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Josh Jones DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Morgan Morris Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 81336 9004 0 false false false Mike Watters Excavation PO BOX 6007 VANCOUVER WA 98665 CONTRACTOR 194933 HFI Consultants PO Box 1929 Battle Ground WA 98604 Contractor 515234 Inter-Fluve 501 Portway Ave Ste 101 Hood river OR 97031 Contractor 142732 Wolf Water Resources Inc 1001 SE Water Ave 180 Portland OR 97214 Contractor 288824 4 2381821 229990 244411 2611811 0 1503 1503 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2613314 1503 X 0 0 0 0 71031 1420 69611 0 299782 213555 57096 29131 0 25713 18975 4147 2591 31706 18707 10463 2536 0 0 25748 25748 0 0 0 1025025 1025025 312 312 0 0 0 4053 4053 24860 23667 1193 0 581 581 0 0 11966 11966 18144 18144 Supplies & Materials 662950 662803 147 In-Kind Materials 243911 243911 Equipment Rental & Maintenance 36562 36562 Dues & Subscriptions 7369 7369 7324 1498 5131 695 2497037 2246123 215961 34953 189568 224614 50128 131 286045 404182 0 0 0 0 0 15852 17999 0 0 0 0 0 41951 31169 583544 678095 97839 86573 127149 42612 32152 140451 245874 X 443093 432221 443093 432221 583544 678095 116277 -127149 X false true X true true true X 1075291 10337975 1394000 1863362 2611811 17282439 0 0 1075291 10337975 1394000 1863362 2611811 17282439 0 17282439 28 1503 1531 0 8028 8028 17291998 0.99940 0.99950 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Operating lease liability 32152 32152 X 2625788 12474 12474 2613314 2613314 2509511 12474 12474 2497037 2497037 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Under provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Organization is exempt from federal income taxes, except for net income from unrelated business activities.
