That's why Watershed Watch strives to gain allies in its fight for wild salmon. Much needs to be done. Salmon conservation hinges on presentations, meetings, analyses, reports, essays, campaigns, briefs, photographs -- in short, nothing of value materializes spontaneously.

Salmon in the Classroom: http://www.clarkpud.com/salmon/intro1.html The Salmon in the Classroom program was created in 1991 by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to provide students an opportunity for
hands-on environmental education. By studying salmon habitat, water quality
and the salmon themselves, students can learn about the interrelationships of species within their local watershed. In learning how to protect the
salmon's environment, the students are ultimately learning how to protect
their own environment
