Conservation of Shuswap River Chinook through Education

This multi-year stewardship project aims to help protect Shuswap River Chinook by providing place-based, experiential education to thousands of local students.

Salmon are a keystone species due to their importance in maintaining the health of ecosystems. Protecting salmon requires knowledge, awareness, and a passion for the species. Education is key, and this project helps to build compassion, promote action, protect fish, and preserve the Shuswap River Watershed.
