Lower Columbia Fish Enhancement

Community Engagement: LCFEG made significant strides in community engagement and habitat restoration during the fiscal year 2023 (July 2023 - June 2024). A key component of our community outreach involved educational programs designed to increase public awareness about the importance of habitat restoration and fish conservation. Through partnerships with local schools and volunteer opportunities LCFEG fostered a stronger connection between communities and their natural resources. In particular, the Seeds to Salmon over 460 students and volunteers, teaching them about salmon ecology and the critical role these fish play in regional ecosystems. Additionally, LCFEG organized multiple community planting days, which drew hundreds of participants eager to take part in hands-on restoration activities.
