We think it’s very important to take care of our Pacific Northwest salmon. We do that by being “stewards” of their environment. Stewards are caretakers. Now that you know what makes a healthy salmon stream, we invite you to draw the healthiest salmon stream you can imagine. 

Here are some ways you can help take care of nature in your neighborhood:

• Pick up trash in your neighborhood
• Teach others what you know
• Attend a Mountains to Sound Greenway restoration event (!!!)
• Plant native plants in your yard
• Remove invasive plant species (like ivy or blackberry)
• Learn more about salmon by visiting the Issaquah hatchery, Salmon Days, or other salmon-related events
• Support legislation that protects endangered species, wetlands, streams, and native habitat, or supports restoration
• Write to your representative asking them to support salmon habitat protection and restoration.
• Take the bus, walk, or carpool
• Compost food scraps
• Use reusable products instead of single-use, and try to reuse single-use items, too

Can you think of other things you can do?
