Catalyze forest health across 6

million acres - protecting clean

water, fish and wildlife, enriching

lives and community safety –

and engage the public in

management and enjoyment of

natural areas.

Transform freshwater systems to support thriving rivers, salmon recovery, flood management, water quality and a healthier Puget Sound.

Spark a revolution in ocean protection that sustains diverse marine habitats, abundant fisheries, and coastal economies and cultures.

Change the climate narrative from threat to opportunity and demonstrate the power of natural systems to protect people and nature.

Make cities more resilient and livable, and build support for nature, through the development of green infrastructure and natural solutions to pollution.

To achieve ambitious, transformative conservation goals, we must provide the financial and people resources, a culture of excellence and values based leadership.

Premier Christy Clark is scheduled to sign a protocol agreement with the Ahousaht Nation (AFN) and AFN has invited us to the ceremony.

A plan for winding up Iisaak Forest Resource company must be adopted by the company's board in the near term to keep province moving.

Each Nation has completed their land use visions (~ 310K acres identified for protection). Agreement on borders between Nations is not resolved.

Reaching agreement on borders will not happen and we need to facilitate a shared use agreement.

Chelan County large landscape acquisition will not happen in FY16. However, new forest negotiations begin in mid-July.

Weyerhaeuser's merger with Plum Creek stalled negotiation in FY16.

STEWARDSHIP

Capacity and funding secures implementation of 3-5 landscape restoration projects across more than 250,000 acres (Manastash-Taneum, Little Naches, South Summit II)

Snohomish River basin coordinated investment pilot is underway and focused on providing support to an identified suite of on-the-ground conservation projects.

15+ communities have surpassed the pre-proposal stage and will submit full proposals for integrated fish and flood risk reduction projects due June 30th.

Request For Proposals criteria finalized to solicit new projects in June 2016. $14M in place for project investment ($9M Federal, $5M State).

Determining where agencies can focus and have the greatest impact in light of the range of project needs, agency authorities, and resources is challenging.

State funding is well below what is needed.

Securing remaining $4-5MM in state match funding in next biennium.


Community leaders, decision makers, and public are educated in benefits of green infrastructure investments.

Yakima Basin Integrated Plan is authorized by Congress and 3 restoration projects are initiated

EXCELLENCE

CHALLENGES:STATUS:

CHALLENGES:STATUS:


Yakima Basin Integrated Plan Bill is passed by the Senate, introduced in the House.

Passage of the bill is uncertain because of Congressional dysfunctionality.

100s of regional leaders attended workshops, received reports or info online about green infrastructure to reduce flooding/climate impacts.

While many infrastructure managers are embracing greener solutions, creating deep institutional change will take time.

Five habitat restoration projects implemented. (Hurst Creek, Ellsworth Creek, Swauk Creek, Taneum Creek and Oak Creek)

CHALLENGES:STATUS:

Habitat restoration projects completed at Hurst, Ellsworth, Oak, and SwaukCreeks; new projects initiated in Shale and Taneum Creeks.

Restoration projects must be phased to match grant funding opportunities and capacity (internal and external), slowing the pace of work.
