John Inch getting ready for the canoeing portion of the 2015 journey that traveled the length of the Puyallup River, from Mount Rainier to Commencement Bay. In 2021, the 3 Rivers Expedition will revisit the Puyallup, along with the White and the Carbon Rivers, in an effort to get an updated look at this amazing watershed and the threats it faces.

The Ikkatsu Project is proud of the company it keeps; the dedicated support of these companies and organizations help make our continuing expeditions and field work possible.

Special thanks to the following organizations for their continued support:
– The Bamford Foundation
– South Sound Surfrider
– Puyallup Watershed Initiative
– Pierce Co. Conservation District
