SEEC is not a typical nonprofit. And SEEC is different how? SEEC is a Commission, established by Treaty between the US and Canada with a specific job: fund projects in the Upper Skagit. Consider this your invitation! Do you have an idea? → skagiteec.org/seec-unique #rosslake #skagit

This 2021 Video, and the project it describes, are a beautiful instance of collboration on funding, approvals, oversight, ground work and knowledge sharing. The Upper Skagit Watershed has always been a ‘Gathering Place’ of sorts. > skagiteec.org/blog #upperskagitwatershed #bcparks #bcwildfire
