Mission
Western Rivers Conservancy protects outstanding river ecosystems in the western United States. They acquire land to conserve critical habitat, provide public access for compatible use and enjoyment, and cooperate with other agencies and organizations to secure the health of whole ecosystems.
Where They Work
Western Rivers Conservancy protects outstanding rivers in the eleven contiguous western states: Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. Their conservation acquisitions include everything from big-river projects on the Snake, the Salmon and the Madison, to purchases on smaller but equally important streams like Deer Creek, Nason Creek and the Little Cimarron.
