Washington Conservation Action

Washington Conservation Action, formerly Washington Environmental Council, is a nonprofit, statewide advocacy organization that has been driving positive change to solve Washington's most critical environmental challenges since 1967.

What is our mission?

To protect, restore, and sustain Washington's environment.

How has WCA's work impacted our state?

WCA was instrumental in passing (and now enforcing) the foundational laws that help keep Washington's environment healthy: the State Environmental Policy Act, the State Superfund Law, the Growth Management Act, and the Shoreline Management Act.

WCA builds power for the environmental movement in Washington. We bring the environmental community together through the Environmental Priorities Coalition. Each year, over 20 groups that make up the Coalition select up to four issues to advance in the state legislature. Thanks to our focused power, we have been able to achieve groundbreaking solutions - from promoting clean cars and greener buildings to setting responsible limits on climate pollution to eliminating dangerous toxins in children's products.

How does WCA work?

WCA builds and leads partnerships, mobilizes the public, engages decisionmakers and take legal action to enact and enforce environmental protection policy and ensure a sustainable future.
