The Cascade Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group is a non-profit organization working within Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan and Ferry counties to cooperatively facilitate sustainable fisheries enhancement projects for future generations. Our work is based on public trust, outreach, voluntary participation of willing landowners, best available science and best value management practices.
The Cascade Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group works with willing landowners to protect good habitat and to facilitate and implement fish restoration projects, and informs the public through education, training, and public information to improve the health of our region's environment, increase fish populations, promote a more sustainable and environmentally sound regional economy, and minimize community conflicts over natural resource management
The Regional Fisheries Enhancement Group (RFEG) program is a legislative program designed to include citizens in salmon restoration efforts. Fourteen non-profit groups of volunteers cooperate with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to improve salmon resources throughout the state. Dedicated funding supports project activities.
Each RFEG group oversees a specific geographic region based on watersheds. Each group is a separate, non-profit organization, complete with a board of directors, subcommittees and, in some cases, staff. RFEGs propose and develop habitat improvements, salmon production, outreach and education and research projects.
The CCFEG geographic region is defined as all of Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan and Ferry counties.
