CWCAP became a 501(c)(3) entity in February 1984. The list of accomplishments is a tale of education, action, and a deep commitment to vision, responsibility, and cooperation. Thank you for your support in your community, this watershed, Carkeek Park, and Salmon Programs over these many years. Together we’ve demonstrated how far we can go towards a sustainable, healthy, and safe future in Piper’s Creek Watershed. Each donation will help us reach community, students, and local and state agencies who may not otherwise have an opportunity to develop awareness, appreciation, and stewardship values. You can help support our programs and your community!
