5 Main Reasons We Plant Trees For Salmon

A. Roots hold dirt, preventing erosion which can smother

the redds within the stream.

B. Large woody debris (LWD) provides pools,

resting spots, feeding areas, and hiding

spaces from predators.

a necessity for the survival of salmon.

Lastly…

Provide habitat for bugs, which are food for the

juvenile salmon!

Trees drop leaves, which feed the

base of the food chain in the stream!

Remember,

Safety First!

Walk, don’t run.

Stay in sight of the group at all times.

Shovels:

Sharpened regularly, which makes them dangerous.

Never carry shovels over your shoulder.

Tip should always be pointed towards the ground, like walking

sticks.
