The Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board, based in Wenatchee, WA, is dedicated to supporting stakeholders in the restoration of viable salmonid populations and other at-risk species. Through collaborative processes that honor regional, cultural, economic, and community values, they work towards the goal of sustainable recovery. With a focus on science-based approaches, the board provides funding opportunities, implements salmon recovery programs, facilitates forest health initiatives, and promotes the democratization of scientific knowledge. They also organize conferences, workshops, and events to foster knowledge exchange and engagement within the community. The board's recent projects include the Thermal Refuge Assessment in Wenatchee and Entiat, which utilized instream surveys and temperature loggers to assess stream temperatures in the Wenatchee and Entiat Rivers and tributaries. They identified cold water areas, developed longitudinal temperature profiles, and provided detailed habitat data and restoration recommendations. The board's commitment to wise resource management and their dedication to the recovery of salmon populations make them a key player in the conservation efforts of the Upper Columbia Region.
