Legacy Rivers
Pacific Rivers Council is embarking on an ambitious program to identify, build support for, and gain permanent protection for some of our nation's healthiest rivers and watersheds. We call these our Legacy Rivers because they are worthy of recognition, celebration, protection and restoration as part of our freshwater heritage.
 Pacific Rivers Council is a proud partner of Salmon Safe. Read more about Salmon Safe's inception and find out how we work together to ensure a clean and healthy habitat for northwest salmon. www.salmonsafe.org |
