Weyerhaeuser Corporation 



Weyerhaeuser supports fishery projects in the Basin by channeling funds 

 through Long Live the Kings and by supporting a full-time fishery enhancement 

 project coordinator for the CBFTF. The company also supports extensive, long- 

 term research on forestry effects on fisheries. 



Orayi Harbor Conservation District 



All Conservation Districts, although essentially administered by the SCS, act 

 as private organizations in that they are governed by a local volunteer board. 

 The GHCD is based in Montesano. The District specializes in school programs 

 in ecological awareness and in salmon enhancement (Troy Col ley, GHCD, pers. 

 coram. ) . They also provide assistance to farmers in streambanx protection and 

 elimination of nonpoint pollution. GHCD proposes to conduct a survey of land 

 use and riparian condition throughout the Basin, including all other counties, 

 to assist in repairing habitat damage associated with agriculture. 



Lewis County Conservation District 



The LCCD, located in Chehalis, supports fish habitat improvement in three 

 ways. First, it supports administration of the Chehalis River Council, a 

 citizen group working to improve water quality in the upper Chehalis. Second, 

 it has incorporated shrub and tree planting into bank protection measures. 

 Third, LCCD proposed a multi-million-dollar dairy waste digester to reduce 

 dairy waste run-off into streams from the farms along the South Fork Chehalis. 



Thurston Conservation District 



TCCD emphasizes habitat restoration projects in cooperation with private 

 landowners. The Long Range Plan of 1992 (Thurston CD 1992) specifies the CD as 

 leading fishery habitat protection in the areas of farm planning, riparian 

 protection, and in providing plants for streambanx revegetation. 



Columbia-Pacific Resource Conservation & Development Council 



The Council was formed to combine SCS and private industry funds to address 

 certain resource problems facing Grays Harbor, Pacific, and Wahxiakum 

 counties. It is based in Aberdeen. The Council has entered into a contract 

 with the DSFS to develop an enhancement plan for spring Chinook and steelhead 

 in the Wynoochee (Walls 1991).
