Thank you for your faith in wild salmon and wild places.
And for your active support to save our wild salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
With your continued support, we're going to recover healthy, abundant populations of wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia Basin and achieve our nation's most ambitious river restoration -
A healthy, freely-flowing lower Snake River.
Thank you for all that you do. Have a safe holiday.
And then afterward, let's get back to work!

In 2013, after a successful campaign by the Lower Elwha K'lallam Tribe and local conservationists, the nation’s largest dam removal project was completed on Washington’s Elwha River. More than two years have passed and this newly-restored watershed that links Olympic National Park with the salt waters of the Salish Sea is in the midst of a fascinating and unprecedented transformation. “An Evening on the Elwha” will present a series of rapid-fire presentations by renowned experts from the field who will describe how this rich ecological system is coming back to life before our eyes. Presentations will cover salmon recovery, otters, sediment migration, estuary and coastal restoration, reservoir revegetation, a trip down the re-wilded river, and much more.
