Saturday, January 14th marked the day we welcome the chum salmon back to Muck Creek in the city of Roy, WA. Though the morning turned out to be a chilly one, and there weren’t any salmon for us to greet, the event provided an opportunity for members of the community throughout the watershed to come together. Delicious food and beverages were provided by Nisqually tribal member Ramona Wells, with a variety of informational displays featuring our special guests, the salmon, and salmon restoration. Other guests of the event were Colonel Tommy Brittain and Joing Base Garrison Commander, from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA State Representative JT Wilcox, Georgiana Kautz, Natural Resources Manager for the tribe, and David Troutt, the tribe’s Natural Resources Director. Thanks to everyone who came out and withstood the cold weather to lend a helping hand and show their support for the amazing work our project partners are doing throughout the watershed!
