Looking for salmon? You're not alone! These Pacific Northwest icons are all around us — if you know where (and when) to look.

Bring your lunch and join us for a midday session with NSEA’s stewardship program manager, Sarah Brown. She'll guide you through some great online resources — including recent data from NSEA’s Salmon Spotters citizen science project — to help you track down these remarkable fish right here in Whatcom County. We'll cover how to identify different salmon species, take an online tour of nearby watersheds, and share ways you can support wild salmon recovery for generations to come.

Pack your lunch and join us on Friday, June 20th in person at NSEA’s campus or online via Zoom. This workshop will last from 12 – 1 PM, and staff will be available until 1:30 PM for additional discussion and Q&A. Coffee, tea, and water provided.

RSVP required. Click here to register.

Love the outdoors and our community? Join NSEA for a community work party and help restore local watersheds! Together, we’ll plant trees, remove invasive weeds, and care for salmon-bearing streams across Whatcom County. We’ll also revisit mature restoration sites to remove cages and blue tubes. No experience needed—all ages are welcome, and we provide the tools and guidance to make a difference for salmon habitat!

View our full work party schedule here - running from now until May 21st , 2025.

Summer camp registration is open! Do you have a 3-6 year old who loves to play, explore, and learn? Check out Camp Keystone!
