Hope For Salmon

About the event

Few species are as iconic as Pacific salmon. When considering their importance as a food source, their popularity as a recreational fishery, and they ways our natural systems rely on the immense nutrients deposited by their carcasses after spawning, it’s easy to see why their declines resonate across regions and latitudes. For certain First Nations peoples, including those on whose homelands many of us here in the Palouse reside, these declines are deeply felt.

Come celebrate the rich cultural heritage and environmental connections of these groups and grow your appreciation of the significant roles many play in Pacific salmon restoration efforts. Increasing knowledge and awareness of the importance of salmon is key to building effective recovery efforts.

This is an educational event where we will prepare salmon for purchase and host educational talks about the importance of salmon and efforts to promote their persistence for future generations.

The event is open to all and free to attend.

We can’t wait to see you there!
