April showers bring May flowers - and high water

 

Methow Salmon’s projects are developed to meet the objectives of salmon recovery while balancing the needs of agriculture, river recreation, landowners, and the community. Projects focus on floodplain engagement, habitat complexity, fish passage barrier removal, and irrigation diversion improvement.

This summer we will continue work on the Sugar Reach Channel Reconnections Project.

Beaver and Salmon

The Methow Beaver Project is a collaboration of organizations and community members working together to change public perception of beavers as a nuisance to beavers as a restoration tool that can enhance ecosystem resiliency, wildfire recovery, human communities, and wildlife.

Research & Monitoring

Monitoring fish populations and habitat conditions over time is critical to designing and building effective salmon recovery projects.

Education

Our Salmon in and out of the Classroom and Watershed Watchers programs blend scientific exploration, artistic expression, and hand-on restoration. This provides a foundation for local students to explore their home watershed and increase their understanding of their vital role in its ecology and sustainability.

Restoration Sites

The trails at Twisp Ponds, Sa Teek Wa Park, and the WDFW Cottonwood trail offer visitors the opportunity to explore an active restoration site and learn more about salmon recovery efforts.

Salmon & Art

Methow Salmon actively partners with the local arts community. We believe art is a powerful educational tool, helping to promote salmon recovery and engage the community in our restoration efforts.
