Willamette Riverkeeper

Mission

Willamette Riverkeeper’s sole mission is to protect and restore the Willamette River.  We believe that a river with good water quality, abundant natural habitat, that serves as a safe source for fishing and swimming is a basic public right.  The Willamette River belongs to all of us and should be protected as such. 

Bottom Line

The Willamette isn’t just the river that runs through Portland; it’s our river, and everyone should have the opportunity to know it, enjoy it, advocate for it, and help protect it. 

Willamette Riverkeeper gets people out on the water while working every day to protect clean water, restore critical habitat, tackle pollution, and advocate for a healthier river from Portland Harbor to communities throughout the Willamette Valley. 

For 30 years, we’ve combined advocacy, science, restoration, recreation, and hands-on action to build a healthier Willamette and a community of people who will stand up for it for generations to come.

Quote

“Willamette Riverkeeper has been an amazing partner in the fight to cleanup the Portland Harbor Superfund Site. They have been there since the beginning and they are strong ally to the marginalized communities most affected by the pollution.” Cassie Cohen, Executive Director, Portland Harbor Community Coalition
