Where We Work
With the help of our donors, volunteers, and staff, the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group (HCSEG) participates in restoration and research projects throughout the entire Hood Canal Watershed in the western part of Washington State. These efforts not only benefit local salmon populations, but also support the ecological diversity of this beautiful and scenic natural community.
In addition to habitat restoration and research, HCSEG carries out an assortment of educational programs, supporting students, teachers, and life-long learners. Located next to the Union River estuary, HCSEG’s headquarters, the Salmon Center, has a beautiful, certified organic garden, as well as a variety of farm animals, (llamas, alpacas, chickens, ducks, goats, etc.), to demonstrate how salmon, humans, and agriculture can coexist.
Why Salmon, why now?
137 or more local species depend on salmon for their survival, making them a true keystone species and the biological foundation for our local ecosystem. The Pacific Northwest is known across the globe for its towering tree giants, layers of greenery, resident pods of orca whales, and diverse ecosystem made up of countless plants, bugs, animals, and fungi. This could cease to exist as we know it if we do not act swiftly and strategically to protect our threatened wild salmon populations.
