"Salmon and people aren’t that different. We all need cool, clean water to survive. The actions we take to restore salmon habitat — replacing bad culverts, placing large wood in streams, planting native trees and shrubs — all do more than just restore salmon habitat.

We are focused on salmon, but the work we do touches everything that lives on the landscape" -Evan Hayduk
