A grassroots organization of Skagit citizens, farmers and landowners working for cooperative, sustainable water resource policy in the Skagit River watershed is trying to educate folks about what’s happening in their county . Twenty years of back-room agreements intentionally excluding farmers and rural landowners have left their community without a long-range water resource plan. The Skagit watershed is a precious public trust that a select few are trying to control, according to the organization.
“We demand representation for rural landowners and farmers on the Skagit River Flow Management Committee (SRFMC), the self-appointed body that controls water resource policy in the Skagit River watershed without public input or scrutiny,” they say.
