John,

Thank you to those who were able to join our Snake River Dinner Hour webinar series of 2024! We hope you will join us for our fourth and final webinar on May 14, Salmon & Grain: How to keep our plates full, responsibly. [[link removed]]

The Northwest is abundant with food production and export. Apples, potatoes, cherries, Walla Walla onions, wheat, salmon and steelhead are grown and harvested in the Columbia River Basin. While local wheat production benefits from barge transportation made possible by dams on the lower Snake River, the salmon and steelhead populations are struggling to survive due to these dams. Fish populations remain a critical food source for Washingtonians, especially for Indigenous peoples of the Northwest who rely on their relative, the salmon, for sustenance and cultural identity.

The solution is clear: The four dams on the lower Snake River must go to ensure Salmon and steelhead populations survive. Wheat production can still be transported without the lower Snake River barges. Join us for the upcoming webinar to learn more about this topic.

What: Salmon & Grain: How to keep our plates full, responsibly.

When: Tuesday, May 14 from 6 to 7 p.m. Pacific Time
