Built over 57,000 feet of livestock fencing to improve water quality and reduce bank erosion

Engaged over 24,600 children in hands-on environmental science education programs, learning about salmon and the importance of watershed environments

Opened over 105 miles of habitat for salmon and steelhead by removing 77 culvert crossings that blocked fish migration
