Founded in 1997 by a group of concerned citizens, the Kenai Watershed Forum (KWF) has grown from a small collective focusing on the Kenai River Watershed (2,200 square miles) to a regionally respected 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission now encompasses the entire Kenai Peninsula (16,000 square miles).
KWF utilizes a non-adversarial approach, focusing on solutions through high quality RESEARCH, EDUCATION, and RESTORATION programs to meet the evolving needs of the region. The organization is a recognized leader among watershed organizations in Alaska and beyond.
