LWVSC received a $2,000 grant from the Keta Foundation, also known as the Mountaineers. The Keta Foundation works with local schools and community members to offer environmental educational experiences to encourage good stewardship of the earth. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to further its mission: Protecting and connecting with the habitat, mountains, water, and natural history of the Salish Sea region.
The grant will help us safeguard Snohomish County’s carbon-dense, structurally complex mature forests on state lands—sometimes referred to as legacy forests. We must protect biodiversity, ensure climate resilience, and preserve healthy ecosystems that sustain rivers, wildlife, and communities.
By elevating public understanding and building consensus around responsible stewardship, this project strengthens both ecological integrity and civic engagement while protecting trust land beneficiaries and rural communities.
