Come join us at the Salmon Center for an Earth Day extravaganza! Help us take care of important habitat at the Farm at Water’s Edge, including our native plant buffer and food forest. These areas contain over 200 native and edible plants that attract beneficial pollinators and will provide delicious fruits, nuts, and berries to our community as they mature. By removing invasive species and preparing the farm for spring, you will be helping to conserve a vital native ecosystem that supports Washington’s wild salmon populations. The event will take place April 22nd from 10 am – 1 pm, and volunteers can plan to meet at the Salmon Center garage. Please dress for the weather, wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and wear close-toed shoes. Also please bring gloves if you have them! Outside of volunteer work there will be both self-led and guided activities for people of all ages, and kids are encouraged to come and be involved! The Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group is one of 12 original Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups, or RFEGs, created by the Washington State Legislature in 1990. There are now 14 RFEGs across Washington State. The RFEGs were created to be active partners in assisting Washington State in salmon recovery efforts, supported by community volunteers. The RFEGs were tasked with supplementing fish populations, restoring salmon habitat, and developing salmon-related education programs. The Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group was granted 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation status in November 1990. Our headquarters, The Salmon Center, is located right next to the Union River Estuary and Theler Wetlands, and features a certified organic U-Pick garden and farm that demonstrates sustainable agricultural practices, a nursery that prepares native plants for restoration projects, and a classroom that hosts community education events, as well as youth clubs such as 4H. As an organization we strive to deepen the connection between land, people, and salmon through research, restoration, and education. Our mission is to ensure that wild salmon are once again abundant in the Pacific Northwest.
