When You Help - More Gets Done
The seeds of NSEA sprouted around the dining room tables of dedicated volunteers in 1988. Today, NSEA continues to be governed by a volunteer board of directors and thousands join our community work parties annually to make real - tangible - improvements to salmon habitat. Community volunteers are the strength of salmon recovery in Whatcom County. Certain positions require a clear background check, for more information see NSEA’s Background Check Policy.
