Willamette Riverkeeper’s sole mission is to protect and restore the Willamette River. We believe that a river with good water quality and abundant natural habitat, safe for fishing and swimming is a basic public right. The Willamette River belongs to all of us and should be protected as such. They work to enable the Willamette River Watershed to function more naturally with cold, pure water, meandering backchannels, and dynamic habitat for fish and wildlife. The health of this natural ecosystem is inseparable from the quality of life of our communities who live and work in its surrounding watershed; each is dependent on the other.

The Tacoma Lakes Association is dedicated to the education of lakes’ users and the environmental protection of our lakes. They believe that education is the key to ensuring that future generations have the same privilege we do to enjoy the special beauty of the Tacoma Lakes. The Association is actively involved in helping to protect our lakes. Particularly important is protecting our lakes from invasive plants, exotic fish and “slow the flow” nutrient reduction. The Association also assists the dam keeper, who maintains our water levels. The Association is a not-for-profit lake association. We depend upon volunteers for all our activities.
