The mission of the Spokane Riverkeeper is to protect the river’s ecological health, vibrancy, and aesthetic integrity, as well as the healthy connections that communities have to the river now and into the future. We use the Clean Water Act as a primary legal tool for our work.

We also use education and collaboration as a primary way of communicating the values of and protecting the Spokane River.
