What is at Stake?
Our quality of life, the health of our communities, our economic vitality, and our heritage—all depend on smart management of our rivers, lakes, natural areas and wildlife habitat. Chelan and Douglas Counties are still under pressure from population growth, putting our natural areas at risk.
The next 10 years are a critical time for our region. If we don’t act together—and act now—poorly planned growth could take away the rural and natural areas that make Chelan and Douglas Counties exceptional.
Please help us preserve our natural areas for future generations. Find out how you can help.
