About [Edit]
What is Salmon Nation?
Salmon Nation is a place.
Outlined both by its coastline and by the rivers that reach deep into its lands, Salmon Nation's geographical boundaries are simply defined: anywhere Pacific salmon have ever run.
Salmon Nation is a state of mind.
Welcome to a community of caretakers and citizens, a community that stretches across arbitrary boundaries and bridges urban-rural divides. We bring new meaning to the word cooperative — with unusual alliances of tribes, fishermen, farmers, ranchers, loggers, and urban-dwellers working together to improve our neighborhoods and watersheds.
Salmon Nation is a gift.
The prosperity of Salmon Nation is based on mutual interest, rather than special interests. It's an economy that nourishes our human spirit and conserves our natural wealth. We want Salmon Nation to be as rich for our grandchildren as it's been for us.
Who owns Salmon Nation?
Legally, Salmon Nation is a trademark of Ecotrust. But the power of Salmon Nation comes from the many ways it touches and inspires the region's residents, businesses, organizations and governments. Salmon Nation will only be a sucessful tool in building a healthier bioregion if it is owned by the people.There are many ways to get involved with Salmon Nation. You might start by reading some of the essays and information on the website. If you like what you see, consider signing up to show your support. Perhaps you'll want to sport some fashionable Salmon Nation gear (and share your pictures too!).
Often Salmon Nation gets it's hook in people, and they want to do more. They want to share it with others. They want to shout it from the mountain peaks loud enough to reach the rainforests of home.
To learn more about Salmon Nation or about how to use it to grow a thriving bioregional economy in the Pacific Northwest region, check out the website!
