Our Partners

The Mid Klamath Watershed Council acknowledges that we live and work on Indigenous land. While the majority of MKWC’s work takes place on the ancestral lands of the Karuk (see story map), Shasta, and Yurok people, we also have projects on Hupa, Modoc, Konomihu, and Tsnungwe people’s ancestral lands. The Indigenous peoples of the Klamath basin are stewards of these lands and waters and have been since time immemorial. Indigenous peoples will continue to steward this place for future generations.

MKWC strives to support Indigenous groups and community members through: collaboration with diverse stakeholders, promotion of community vitality, and involvement of the people in land stewardship.

MKWC works collaboratively with partners to restore and sustain a resilient Klamath watershed, economy, and community. A key MKWC goal is to facilitate and support holistic restoration of the natural and cultural resources of the Klamath watershed, including aquatic, riparian and upslope habitats. To meet this goal, MKWC 1) develops and maintains partnerships with other groups and agencies, 2) creates collaborative, strategic, ecological restoration plans, 3) engages with partners to integrate MKWCs mission and goals into their plans, 4) promotes dialog between diverse interested parties to increase understanding, establish common ground, and create collaborative solutions. MKWC is a core partner in the Western Klamath Restoration Partnership, a collaborative land and fire management effort between Tribal, Federal, and Non-Governmental (NGO) stakeholders in the Western Klamath Mountains of Northern California.
