For the past 25 years, the Salmon Coalition has been working with community, state, and tribal partners to restore Discovery Bay. The effort to restore crucial nearshore and estuarine habitat for salmon smolt has also provided a wealth of ecosystem benefits to birds, shellfish, and mammals.
The Salmon Coalition is gearing up to restore one of the final pieces of the puzzle at a parcel recently acquired by the Jefferson Land Trust, called the Pedersen Project. Join Project Manager Kevin Long, onsite for a pre-construction tour of this upcoming restoration project on July 23rd at 12:30pm. Learn about the importance of nearshore habitat for endangered salmon, the impacts of infrastructure such as bulkheads and railroad grades in this zone, and the steps that NOSC will take to restore it.
What to expect – the tour will take place on mostly flat, firm ground, with little walking. Parking is available on the road with a short walk down a gravel drive. A few spots are available in the driveway for those needing closer access. This tour is a good fit for all ability levels.
Driving directions are provided in registration confirmation.
**Space is limited – RSVP is required**
Salmon Coalition Members receive priority registration through July 14th. Registration for Non-Members opens July 15th.
Can I still come if I’m not a Salmon Coalition Member?
Yes! We always welcome volunteers to share in member tours as thanks for contributing your time and energy to the Salmon Coalition. After priority registration, we welcome anyone to join if there is still space available!
