The mission of the Task Force is to ensure the future of salmon in the Stillaguamish and Snohomish watersheds, a combined land area of more than 2,400 square miles. Since its beginning in 1990, the Task Force has directed its resources and energy to the challenge of developing community partnerships and strategies to improve and restore the recreational and commercial fisheries of the Pacific Northwest. The Stilly Snohomish Task Force has funds available for community groups that are looking for alternative fundraising opportunities. This is an opportunity for groups not usually exposed to salmon recovery to participate in community-based salmon habitat restoration efforts.
Participants can raise funds for their organizations and help fish and wildlife at the same time.
Schools may also use the funds for bus transportation to and from restoration projects. We offer these funds in exchange for a commitment to provide volunteer labor for salmon habitat restoration projects in the Snohomish and Stillaguamish watersheds. Stipends are available to volunteer groups and schools in exchange for specified contributions of labor to Task Force projects. Stipends are available to representative groups, not to individuals. Stipends are awarded on a case by case basis.
