Join Save Our wild Salmon for a cleanup of the Spokane River, where you’ll hear about efforts to restore salmon across the Columbia Basin while cleaning up the Spokane River!

Why We Clean the River: For the Salmon, and for Us All

Salmon are a keystone species—when they thrive, entire ecosystems thrive. But today, wild salmon across the Columbia and Snake River Basins are in crisis. Decades of habitat destruction, warming waters, pollution, and massive hydroelectric dams have pushed many runs to the brink of extinction.

Save Our wild Salmon works to restore abundant salmon populations across the Pacific Northwest, advocating for the removal of harmful dams and the protection of critical cold-water habitats. These fish are not just vital to the health of rivers—they are central to Indigenous cultures, local economies, and the balance of the entire watershed.

Join us in cleaning the Spokane River not only to restore its beauty, but to take a step toward healing the home that salmon depend on. Every piece of trash removed helps improve water quality, reduce harm to wildlife, and honor our responsibility to this place we all share.
