The future of our community and humanity depends on the healthy and diverse ecosystem that respects all its inhabitants.
This stunning place. The mountains, the bay, the rivers and trees, the salmon that runs through it all …there’s no other place like it. We want to protect and enhance our natural environment, not only for its postcard beauty or playground potential or even the many economic benefits it provides, but because it is part of who we are – and vice-versa.

Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association Endowment
All five species of Pacific salmon and Steelhead migrate from the salt water to freshwater to reproduce (spawn). Since 2004, Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA) has removed more than 70 barriers that made fish migration difficult or impossible, opening over 50 miles of habitat that can now be used by salmon. NSEA believes strongly in providing education and volunteer opportunities so participation in salmon recovery is accessible to everyone.
