Welcome to Salmon Nation

 
Salmon Nation is a place. Outlined both by its coastline and by the rivers that reach deep into its lands, Salmon Nation's geographical boundaries are simply defined: anywhere Pacific salmon have ever run.

Salmon Nation is a state of mind. Welcome to a community of caretakers and citizens, a community that stretches across arbitrary boundaries and bridges urban-rural divides. We bring new meaning to the word cooperative - with unusual alliances of tribes, fishermen, farmers, ranchers, loggers, and urban-dwellers working together to improve our neighborhoods and watersheds.

Salmon Nation is a gift. The prosperity of Salmon Nation is based on mutual interest, rather than special interests. It's an economy that nourishes our human spirit and conserves our natural wealth. We want Salmon Nation to be as rich for our grandchildren as it's been for us.

We hope you'll join us by making a lens to support Salmon Nation. Just click on "Build My Own Lens" to get started. Thanks!
