PARTNERSHIPS

Partnerships
Washington State Department of Ecology
The Nature Conservancy
Puget Sound Partnership

Collaboration is at the heart of the Floodplains by Design partnership. While the Washington State Department of Ecology, The Nature Conservancy and the Puget Sound Partnership lead the initiative, the hallmark of Floodplains by Design is that the supported projects are built from the ground up by local project proponents and community stakeholders.

The three lead organizations support these integrated floodplain projects through regular workshops and networking events, project review and the administration of the state’s Floodplains by Design grant program. Collectively the partnership is pursuing a vision of effective, collaborative management across Washington’s floodplains.

We seek out places and projects where floodplain protection and restoration will provide the greatest benefits to people and nature; projects where people interested in reducing flood risk and people interested in ecosystem restoration are working side by side with landowners and others to implement a local vision for all values. To get involved, email us at info@floodplainsbydesign.org.
