Water: MVCC is committed to protecting our waterways from pollution and over development. We advocate ensuring there is enough clean, cold, clear water for fish, animals, and people throughout the year. In 2023 we continued to work to uphold the Methow Rule by working with the Department of Ecology. The Methow Valley Citizens Council also continues to work with community organizations to advance drought planning.

Program 3

Expenses: $84,813

Air: The Clean Air Methow program has tremendous value in identifying the areas valley residents can improve air quality by following best practices such as clean home heating, using alternatives to outdoor burning, and responsibly conducting prescribed burning. We manage a collection of 32 low-cost Purple Air air quality sensors with businesses, schools, individuals, and towns throughout the Methow Valley, from Lost River Airport outside Mazama to Prairie Flats near the town of Methow. In 2023, MVCC continued to expand the woodstove exchange program and ran a communication campaign throughout Okanogan County in regard to Smoke Readiness.
