Join NOSC for our first Member Tour of 2026!

Member Tours give Salmon Coalition Members the opportunity to see the impact of the work they support with tours of complete, in-progress, or upcoming projects with staff members.

After 25 years of restoration work in Discovery Bay, one of the next pieces of the puzzle is falling into place. This summer, crews break ground at the Pedersen Project, located on a parcel recently acquired by Jefferson Land Trust, and you’re invited to see the work up close. 

Join Project Manager Kevin Long on Wednesday, August 12 at 10am for a casual “hard hat”-style tour of the active restoration site (we likely won’t need actual hard hats). Kevin will walk you through why nearshore and estuary habitat matters so much for young salmon, how old infrastructure like bulkheads and railroad grades disrupts this zone, and what NOSC and our engineering partners plan to accomplish before the season ends. The Discovery Bay effort has already returned benefits well beyond salmon, supporting shorebirds, shellfish, and marine mammals, and this project builds on that momentum. 

Space is limited and RSVP is required. Sign up yourself and guests below.

What to expect: the tour covers mostly flat, firm ground with minimal walking. Park along the road and take a short stroll down a gravel drive to the site. 

Driving directions are provided in registration confirmation.
