Focused stewardship assistance in the Snoqualmie:
A model for rural watersheds

In 2008, the Environmental Protection Agency awarded King County a grant to improve environmental conditions in Raging River and Patterson Creek watersheds.

This grant will:

• Help landowners with technical assistance and financial incentives on a variety of environmental challenges.
• Create a large number of connected properties that are improving or protecting the natural resources on their land.
• Develop a locally grown, community driven network that provides technical assistance after the grant is finished.
• Evaluate if this effort worked.
