We work to ensure the equitable and sustainable management of our most precious resource: water.  Our vision for the future is that Washington State will have clean and abundant waters to support healthy communities, thriving ecosystems, and resilience in the face of climate change.

CELP places tribal treaty rights at the center of our work. We recognize all of Washington’s First People and their ancestral ties to our landscape and waterways and the lives they support.

Clean, Flowing Waters for the West

There are all kinds of reasons to GIVE BIG this year, but water might just be the most important. Washington is already experiencing drought conditions in most of the state and as we move into warmer months, what remains of our water supply in the form of snowpack will disappear too fast. Water is life, from providing habitat to irrigating our food. We must protect it by conserving it, enacting laws and policies that consider climate change, and prioritizing stream flows. This is the work CELP has been doing for the past 30 years. Please GIVE BIG – our waterways thank you! www.wagives.org/organization/center-for-environmental-law-policy ... See MoreSee Less
