Orca Recovery Day

Orca Recovery Day 2025 is Saturday, October 18th!

We hope you’ll join Jefferson County Conservation District and the North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC) for another volunteer planting on October 18th! Please click here for more details and to register.

Our amazing volunteers planted 240 native trees and shrubs at Salmon Creek for Orca Recovery Day 2024. Thanks so much to our partners at NOSC for co-hosting the event for the fourth year in a row.

If you want more volunteer opportunities to benefit salmon and help restore habitat, be sure to check out NOSC’s events list: https://nosc.org/events/

Salmon Creek is important habitat for Endangered Hood Canal summer chum salmon. Recent studies have shown that when Chinook salmon, the preferred prey of Southern Resident Orcas, is in short supply, they’ll supplement their diet with other species, including chum salmon.
