Please join us for the 2026 Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition Annual Fall Celebration, an evening to gather, celebrate, and honor the people and partnerships that help keep Washington’s outdoors green, accessible, healthy, and thriving.
The Fall Celebration brings together community members, supporters from Washington’s leading recreation and conservation organizations, elected officials, municipal leaders, state agency staff, and agency directors around a shared passion for Washington’s great outdoors. Together, we celebrate the Coalition’s advocacy, education, and policy outreach work, break bread with friends old and new, and honor environmental leaders and pioneers from across the state.
This year’s celebration is centered on the “Artistry of Washington’s Landscapes,” with artist, inspiration, awards, joy, and deep community appreciation for the diversity of access and experiences in the outdoors.
The evening is shared with bipartisan support from elected officials, outdoor industry partners, and nonprofit leaders from across Washington State.
We are delighted to recognize this year’s award honorees and hope you will join us in celebrating their leadership, accomplishments, and contributions to Washington’s outdoors.
