Key Peninsula-Gig Harbor-Islands Watershed Council

What's Happening?


The mission of the Key Peninsula-Gig Harbor-Islands (KGI) Watershed Council is to foster wise stewardship of the KGI Watershed. The Council provides educational programs, outreach, and workshops for watershed residents and encourages the collaboration and involvement of all watershed residents and businesses. 

The KGI Work Plan for 2020 is ready and features plans for several work parties, programs on enhancing watershed native plant canopy, and a good look at how climate change affects our area.
