Description

Salmon-Safe, one of the nation’s leading environmental certification organizations, will introduce course attendees to its urban certification program. Founded in the late 1990s by river and native fish conservation organization Pacific Rivers, Salmon-Safe has helped inspire the transformation of a myriad of market sectors, beginning with Northwest wine growers. Today more than 350 vineyards have transitioned to Salmon-Safe certification. The session will include a discussion of stormwater impacts on native fish and innovative stormwater approaches to protect urban watersheds. Salmon-Safe also will discuss its market-based conservation work with some of our region’s highest profile landowners ranging from Nike to University of Washington.
