This year Orca Recovery Day will focus on restoring Kenney Creek, a tributary of the North Fork Nooksack River that provides spawning habitat for Chinook, chum, coho, and pink salmon, among other salmonids (steelhead, bull trout, cutthroat trout). 

​

The property we will helping to restore was recently acquired by the Whatcom Land Trust and is near the confluence with the North Fork Nooksack River, where an undersized culvert was removed in the Summer of 2025 to improve fish access to over four miles of upstream habitat. Alongside in-stream habitat improvements, upcoming restoration work on the property includes planting over 6,000 native trees and shrubs in pursuit of restoring 9 additional acres of degraded streamside habitat.

​

Plant a tree, leave a legacy. You can help orca by restoring streamside habitat for salmon. Bring your pod and join us for Orca Recovery Day on Saturday, October 18 from 9 am–12…
