Group Profile

The Upper Columbia 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. All projects are reviewed by WDFW and tribal authorities before funding is approved.

The UCG geographic region is defined as: the Columbia River and its tributaries from Rock Island Dam up to and including the San Poil watershed. That is WRIAs 44-52, most of Okanogan, Ferry, Douglas and Chelan counties.
