Mission
The mission of the Lower Columbia Fish Enhancement Group is to promote recovery of self sustaining, naturally spawning salmonid populations and healthy aquatic ecosystems. 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.
Program accomplishments
- Restoration Program: LCFEG works to restore and protect healthy aquatic ecosystems for salmon through a range of integrated programs. This includes prioritizing projects and developing long-term implementation plans, improving instream and floodplain conditions across the southwest Washington's rivers and streams, and enhancing riparian areas through native plantings and our nursery program. We also conduct nutrient enhancement work to restore ecosystem health and function by returning marine-derived nutrients to local watersheds, and monitor program outcomes through stream surveys, temperature data collection, and project-specific assessmentsExpenses $3,405,838
- Community Engagement: LCFEG engages and informs our community through a range of outreach and education efforts, including tabling at events, presentations to community groups, landowner outreach, partner meetings, and recovery advocacy with elected officials and site tours. Central to this work is our Seeds to Salmon program, which cultivates the next generation of conservation leaders through hands-on outdoor experiences that connect students to the full plant-to-salmon ecological cycle. Participating teachers can choose from more than 20 season-specific prepared lessons each school year, bringing salmon recovery into the classroom in a meaningful and accessible way.Expenses $25,465
