Stewardship Opportunities

Twenty years old and they’re still the freshest fish in town! Come help celebrate 20 years of ‘Fins, Feathers & Family Fun’ at the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival, September 18-19, 2010.

Salmon Fest is devoted to fun-filled “edu-tainment”, a form of education and entertainment that is both fun and educational. Their mission is to connect families and youth to nature, by helping people discover and appreciate the beauty and intricacies of the great outdoors, and to understand and appreciate the significance of salmon to all people in the northwest. The festival brings people, natural resources, education, entertainment and science together in a noncommercial, nonpolitical package, and in this economically challenged world - it’s all FREE!

The Yakima River Fly Shop will be leading an end of the season clean-up of the Yakima River River on Saturday, November 7. The goal is to clean the river from the Ensign boat launch to the Diversion Dam. There is the option to volunteer in your boat or vehicle, as well as to wade the river banks. Volunteers are welcome to do a little fishing while cleaning. There will be a free BBQ at Whispering Pines RV Park starting at 5 pm.

Contact the Yakima River Fly Shop for more information and to register for this event.
