Mission: Meet regulatory requirements to protect and
enhance wildlife and habitat while providing good stewardship
of the environment that enhances the quality of life in Chelan
County.
Chelan PUD maintains a wide variety of programs to protect and enhance habitat along Rocky
Reach and Rock Island reservoirs on the Columbia River, within
the Lake Chelan basin, and within Chelan PUD's electrical
service area. These programs are designed to meet specific
license requirements for monitoring wildlife and related
habitats to effectively address wildlife issues that may
arise. Chelan PUD’s wildlife programs also enhance
conditions for wildlife where practical.
Chelan PUD biologists take part in many interagency cooperative
efforts, interpretive programs, community events, and
PUD-related discussions to promote awareness of Chelan PUD
wildlife programs, local wildlife issues, and to allow Chelan
PUD to respond to the needs of the community as they relate to
natural resource management. Chelan PUD works with other
resource agencies to enhance wildlife habitat and gather data
for wildlife management.
