How we do it:
Protect

Restore
We restore our right to clean water and healthy fish by reducing toxic pollution.
Care
We care for the river by providing hands-on opportunities for diverse communities to engage with their river.
Join Columbia Riverkeeper’s team as we spring into action to keep up the tremendous, humbling work of collectively fighting for what we love: clean water, our climate, and our communities.
We use legal advocacy and community organizing to stop pollution, fight fossil fuel terminals, save salmon, build stewardship, and clean up Hanford.
