About the Whittier Watershed Council

The mission of the Whittier Watershed Council is to protect water quality and the life it sustains in the Whittier watershed ecosystem.

We are a community based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that wants to work together with community members to monitor and protect through active stewardship of Whittier’s Watershed.

Whittier Watershed Councils’ Vision is to identify problems that affect the water quality of Whittier and advocate for the public’s right to protect a healthy environment, which sustains our ways of life, both physically and spiritually.

The WWC was established in 2005, is made up of concerned citizens from Whittier, Alaska and throughout South-Central Alaska.
