Each year, Northwest rivers teem with life and death as salmon return to their home waters to complete their life journey. As Puget Sound?s northernmost and fourth-largest watershed, the Nooksack River Basin is home to salmonid species both thriving and struggling. Join us as we step into waders and slip into the cool waters of the Nooksack River to explore its salmon-rich waters with aquatic biologist Brady Green. Together we will keep our eyes peeled for salmon and their redds as we learn about the fish species that call this watershed home. Brady will describe the unique characteristics of the forks of the Nooksack River, the salmon?s interconnectedness to dynamic natural systems and how impacts to the greater and local landscape have altered the fish?s status. We?ll meet at the Glacier Public Service Center on Highway 542 before heading to various locations along the Nooksack River including the Boyd Creek Interpretive Trail and the Old Nooksack Campground. Boots and waders will be available to borrow if you don't have them.
