PSE Powerful Partnership 2018
Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group is hosting a public presentation with Doug Bruland, a fisheries scientist with Puget Sound Energy (PSE), about the work being done by PSE to restore Baker River sockeye and the success the program has had.
In 1985 only 99 sockeye returned to the Baker River and since 2010 there have been the largest adult sockeye returns on record with over 30,000 fish returning to spawn! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the successful work that has been done to increase sockeye runs in the Baker River.
Mosey on in at 6pm to enjoy displays and light refreshments before the presentation.
Ann Wolford Park Planting Party-POSTPONED
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER-RELATED SAFETY CONCERNS. PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE SOON FOR NEW DATE
Put plants in dirt and feel good doing it!
Join SFEG to plant native trees and shrubs at Ann Wolford Park in Lyman, just off the Skagit River!
Restoring land back to healthy forest helps prevent toxic runoff and debris from entering our water systems. Trees help keep the river healthy and safe for salmon, and they make for beautiful public parks for us to enjoy!
