Needs Assessments
Document Actions
As a result of a Strategic Planning Initiative adopted in the Fall of 2003, SEEC suspended grant allocations in 2004 and 2005 and issued contracts for needs assessments in the areas of Education and Interpretation, Recreation and Land Management. To read the Executive Summary of each study, please click on the topic of interest.
SEEC remains interested in determining emergent needs in the field of Conservation Biology. A literature review specific to the Upper Skagit Watershed was conducted by the University of British Columbia (UBC) School of Forestry Sciences and can be viewed in our Research Archives.
The Commission also contracted with the UBC's School of Forestry to conduct a facilitated workshop with the U.S. and Canadian land management agencies serving the Watershed in March 2005. To view the report from this workshop, click here.
SECC has adopted one of the report's recommendations to hold an annual workshop on the "State of the Skagit" with the goal of increased cross- border collaboration on overarching stressors to the Watershed. The first workshop was at Semiahmoo Resort on Tuesday, March 7, 2006. To read the Summary Report, click here.
