Take our Healthy Watershed Pledge! https://forms.gle/g5HnXH1AoVASQp8k6
Watershed Alliance works to educate and engage community members to be active stewards of SW Washington natural legacy, with a focus on creeks, lakes, and other water bodies. We educate children and adults through hands-on volunteer opportunities to participate in the restoration and protection of waterways.
Watershed Alliance was incorporated in April 2008 as a nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. In 2010, the organization became completely independent of the City and now works on a contract basis to perform specific tasks including community outreach, environmental restoration, promoting volunteerism and care for our water resources. The Watershed Alliance also works independently with other community organizations to accomplish its mission. In 2017, we changed our name from Vancouver Watersheds Alliance to the Watershed Alliance of SW Washington to better reflect our expanding efforts and new partnerships.
We recognize that we cannot solve environmental challenges without addressing and solving our social justice challenges first. As an organization, we are committed to listening to the voices of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, uplifting the voices of these communities, unlearning and relearning important history, owning our mistakes and learning from them. Educating ourselves is a great place to start, but the real change comes from within through self-reflection on our individual biases.
