Join us Saturday, November 6th at Oyster Creek on the road to Taylor Shellfish Farm to look for spawning chum salmon. We’ll be there to answer your questions about salmon and their habitat at these family-friendly, outdoor events. Experts will be on hand to discuss the restoration efforts of SFEG and partner NSEA, and the water quality awareness work of Taylor Shellfish Farms.

This year the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group has been celebrating 30 years of successful collaboration with our community to restore habitat for salmon. However, Skagit Fisheries is not alone in celebrating this milestone. As one of 14 Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups across Washington State, we are part of a statewide celebration of important salmon work occurring at the community level over the past 30 years.
The Washington State Legislature created the Regional Fisheries Enhancement Group (RFEG) program in 1990 to involve local communities, citizen volunteers, and landowners in the state’s salmon recovery efforts. Like Skagit Fisheries, each of the state’s 14 RFEGs is an independent, local, nonprofit organization with its own board of directors and is supported by its members. Each RFEG creates local partnerships with landowners, tribes, businesses, volunteers, agencies, and other non-governmental organizations to lead their communities in successful restoration, education, and monitoring projects. Each RFEG serves different watersheds in diverse communities across the state so that anywhere there are salmon in Washington, there is an RFEG working with their community to steward salmon resources.
This year the Regional Fisheries Enhancement Group Program is celebrating 30 years of working for salmon at the community level. The Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group is a proud part of this statewide program celebrating 30 years of accomplishments.

Skagit Fisheries and Gretchen Leggitt have teamed up to offer you this membership special! Become a member and receive a one-of-a-kind Skagit Hydrascape Infinity Sticker featuring salmon and the Skagit Valley. The idea of Infinity Stickers was born while Gretchen created a 200+ foot long mural of the North Cascades Mountain Range.
Gretchen Leggitt’s art explores a diverse range of subject and medium, evidence of her passion for expansive investigations of the creative world. An avid adventurer and traveler, Gretchen’s playful subjects are mused by influential places that have caught her eye along the way. Many of her patterns and landscapes are reflections of her roots in the Southwest, along with the cultural and natural influence of her current home in the Pacific Northwest. She resides, recreates, and creates in Bellingham, WA.
Infinity Stickers® are designed to wrap around themselves to create an Infinite landscape on any size of bottle! As you rotate your bottle, you will see no beginning and no end to your sticker- just a colorful, unique landscape! This sticker also looks awesome on skis, boards, cars, coolers, racks, and beyond! The stickers are made in Bellingham and are waterproof, dishwasher safe and UV resistant.
