HOW YOU CAN HELP SOUTHERN RESIDENT ORCAS AND SALMON
From the Orca Network:
Saturday October 16 is Orca Recovery Day, a region-wide effort with local Conservation Districts and many partner organizations. For Orca Recovery Day, we invite the community to organize a beach, river, or stream clean-up in the Salish Sea region and beyond. This can be done with friends, family, or on your own, beginning October 16th and extending through the month. Send photos of your efforts to katie@orcanetwork.org.
