Methow Valley Citizens Council

Support the future of community advocacy, education and engagement in the Methow Valley!

Since 1976, the Methow Valley Citizens Council has been the voice for one of Washington’s most cherished places. Whether you live here, visit for adventure and tranquility, or simply value wild open spaces, clean air and water, and healthy wildlife – you are part of the Methow's story.

But the Methow Valley you know and love didn't happen by accident.

It looks and functions the way it does today because generations of citizens stood up – and spoke up – to protect it in the faces of major development threats. Methow Valley Citizens Council was born out of that same spirit, and ever since, we’ve kept watch over this valley and fought to ensure it remains a place of beauty, integrity and balance. 

From halting over-development to helping secure a permanent ban on mining in the Upper Methow headwaters, our wins are your wins – made possible only by people like you who care deeply about this place.

This essential work includes programs that empower communities through readiness, resiliency, and advocacy. Your support of MVCC directly helps to:

• Defend clean air and water

• Safeguard vital wildlife habitat

• Preserve some of the darkest skies in the country

• Advocate for thoughtful land use planning

• Empower citizen advocacy in the face of big threats – including climate change, mineral extraction, and more.

Whether you call the Methow Valley home or find renewal in its quiet beauty, your support makes all the difference. Thank you for making a donation today!
