Chehalis River Land Trust

The Chehalis River Basin Land Trust has a mission to conserve, protect, and restore ecologically significant lands in the Chehalis basin.  It's a big job, but we know success will improve conditions in the basin.  That means cleaner water for people, and wildlife, and improve salmon habitat.  Water, woodlands, wildlife -- they all contribute to our lives in western Washington.

In July and August of 2026, we employed 10 interns from The Evergreen State College who supported our mission to protect these conserved lands by visiting each site and creating a report. This program was symbiotic in that it gave these interns an opportunity to practice utilizing their knowledge and skills in the field while providing us essential data on the status of these conserved lands. Our goals haven't changed; we wish to continue to monitor, steward, and protect these lands in perpetuity. Funding and financial support makes sure we have the resources to continue to run programs like these in the future, in addition to taking stewardship action when necessary.

We need your support -- and you can do that on this page.  Just click donate and then add where you want the funds to be used.

Your support makes a difference!
With your gift, we will be able to continue protecting and restoring lands, and also educate students and adults about the importance of conservation.

Thank you!
