The Nisqually River Council’s Mission is to encourage and support sustainability in the Nisqually Watershed in order to steward our resources in perpetuity and build a model for harmonious living.

Nisqually Reach Nature Center is a volunteer-run, membership-supported, nonprofit organization that promotes the understanding, appreciation, and preservation of the Nisqually estuarine ecosystem and its integral role in the local environment, history, and culture, through interpretation, education, and research.

The Nisqually Land Trust acquires and manages critical lands to permanently protect the water, wildlife, natural areas and scenic vistas of the Nisqually River watershed.

The Nisqually people have traditionally lived off the land and rivers, sustaining their civilization through the respect and protection of the natural ecosystem. Some tribal lands are included within the Refuge, and the tribe has been a critical partner in our restoration efforts.
