Holiday Trees for Salmon event at NW Stream Center Dec. 6-7

The Holiday Trees for Salmon event at the Northwest Stream Center is scheduled for December 6-7, 2025, with the goal of enhancing awareness of salmon habitats. Organized by the Adopt A Stream Foundation, the event will feature native tree species like Tsuga heterophylla, Thuja plicata, and Pseudotsuga menziesii. Local families are invited to participate in educational activities that emphasize the role of these trees in supporting salmon populations. The event not only highlights the ecological significance of these species but also fosters community involvement in conservation efforts. Historical context shows that salmon populations have been declining due to habitat loss, making such initiatives crucial for their survival.

The foundation aims to empower residents with knowledge and tools to contribute to habitat preservation. With a focus on local biodiversity, the event underscores the importance of community action in environmental stewardship. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how their actions can positively impact the local ecosystem.
