Cross Border Environmental Law Clinic Collaboration Develops a Strategy for Protecting the Skagit River Valley
The Environmental Law Clinic has collaborated with the University of Victoria's Environmental Law Centre Clinic to develop a strategy for protecting natural and conservation values in the international Skagit River Valley. The Clinics reviewed the threats to both the US and Canadian portions of the Upper Skagit Valley, and recommended steps that the binational Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission can take to protect the valley. The final report recommended specific actions the Commission can take to ensure the establishment of new protected areas in the Canadian Skagit River watershed.
