What We Do

SCA is one of north Idaho's oldest environmental nonprofits and has been working to protect the land, air, forests, wetlands, wildlife and WATER of the lower Selkirk Mountains and Priest Lake Watershed for the past 35 years (est. 1987).

Recently (winter 2020), through a strategic planning effort and development of a five year Strategic Plan, SCA has decided to focus our limited staff time and funding on WATER quality conservation and protection work in the watershed.

SCA has three formal pillar programs that support our work to protect regional surface and groundwater resources; SCA Education Program, SCA Advocacy Program and SCA Scientific Research Program.
