As we glide into a time of thankfulness and gratitude, we’re pausing to notice the moments that give us hope – the sight of salmon returning home or the joy of watching young hands plant the next generation of trees. These experiences remind us why we do what we do and for the wild salmon that connect our communities to the land and water.

This season we’d love to hear what local outdoor experiences inspires YOU. Maybe it’s a favorite creek, a beach hike, or seeing salmon return home. Perhaps an experience that first connected you to the natural world. It doesn’t have to be salmon-related. Whatever it is, your story matters. When shared, it becomes part of the larger story of how people and the environment can thrive together.
