Dear Friends,

Spring is here, along with the time of year to GiveBIG to Sound Salmon Solutions to support saving salmon. Now more than ever, we need your support to restore and protect wild salmon through state-of-the-art habitat restoration, interactive education, and hands-on stewardship. Together, we can ensure a future with salmon for generations to come.

Salmon are intrinsically connected to our ecosystem, economy, and culture here in Washington, making them a keystone species. They are key for maintaining ecological balance, supporting countless predators, including our endangered southern resident orcas. They are an integral aspect of our economy as we all rely on sustainable fisheries to see abundant salmon returns for future generations. They are vital to the culture of the Coast Salish Peoples, who have relied on salmon for food, trade, and ceremony and lived in balance with them since time immemorial. Although we and our partners continue to make progress in salmon recovery, we still see most populations of Pacific salmon listed under some level of threat. Pacific salmon populations need us to come together as stewards to the environment to ensure their future and that of our southern resident orcas. 

By supporting Sound Salmon Solutions this spring, your generosity will go towards the vital work we do to realize a future where all communities participate to ensure vibrant, healthy watersheds and an abundance of wild salmon. In 2024, Sound Salmon Solutions planted 36,852 native trees and shrubs, restored 8,980 linear feet of stream habitat, raised and released 80,000 coho salmon, engaged 7,000 youth in environmental education programs, and hosted nearly 300 volunteers who contributed over 2,600 hours of service! As we enter our 35th year of operation, Sound Salmon Solutions is dedicated to continuing to expand our impact and programs for the future of salmon.

With the current state of our federal funding and pending changes to the Endangered Species Act, salmon and our Southern Resident Orcas need your help now more than ever. By coming together to save our salmon, we can continue our vital work of restoring and protecting abundant salmon populations for future generations and ensure the survival of our Southern resident orcas. 

Please dig deep into your pockets this year and join Sound Salmon Solutions now in our GiveBIG campaign to help us do more to save our salmon. Your tax-deductible gift, made now or on May 7 or 8, will go directly to support salmon recovery. Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated!
