A word on Strategies...
Strategies in the Work Plan are broad directions for action that represent our best efforts aimed at accomplishing our goal of salmon habitat recovery.
Project planners use these broad strategies as guidance for developing specific, individual projects.
This is an example of a sidebar found throughout the Work Plan.

The Chehalis Basin Salmon Habitat Restoration and Preservation Work Plan is the Lead Entity strategy for providing guidance to project planners who develop projects and activities that address salmon habitat recovery within Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) 22 and 23. The Work Plan has five sections that achieve the document’s purpose. The first section is A Framework for Salmon Habitat Restoration in the Chehalis Basin, which explains how federal and state laws and policies, as well as the limiting factors analysis, give context to the strategic directions recommended in the Work Plan. The next two sections are the “meat” of the Work Plan – SRF Board Salmon Habitat Projects and Activities and Managing the Salmon Habitat Recovery Process. Each of these sections contains a series of strategies that give guidance on how to develop effective projects. These strategies reflect careful consideration by the Lead Entity about the local conditions in the Chehalis Basin, whether that be habitat, political, social, and economic factors. However, the plan does not end here in providing guidance to project planners. The fourth section in the Work Plan is the Project Development and Funding Strategy. It makes recommendations as to how project developers fund effective and competitive projects, whether that is before the SRF Board or another funding agency or organization. The last section covers Operating Procedures for Habitat Project Lists, the process for submitting salmonid habitat projects and activities for inclusion on habitat project lists that the Chehalis Basin Partnership submits as a Lead Entity to the SRF Board for funding consideration. This section is subject to change annually, so check this section frequently. To assist the reader, each section contains “sidebars” in the left-hand side of the margin. These sidebars contain additional information resources that a reader may wish to consult to expand their knowledge base on the subject under discussion. In the electronic version of the Work Plan, most of these sidebars have hyperlinks to sites on the World Wide Web that provide more information on a topic, or in the case of laws, the exact citation. Appendix A provides insight to the reader how the technical advisory group originally used the limiting factors analysis for WRIAs 22 and 23 to create the prioritizations between sub-basins and action steps within sub-basins. Special acknowledgement is due to the following people who worked hard in formulating this edition of the Work Plan:
