Tips for involved citizens
Local government can't bring back healthy streams and recover salmon populations alone. Your participation is needed to help shape our salmon conservation plans and to help restore salmon habitat.

Learn about salmon and local salmon conservation plans.
Salmon ecology and restoration can be daunting, but the basics are pretty simple. Learn how to identify different types of salmon and trout, what salmon need, and what King County and local communities are doing for salmon.

Volunteer to help protect King County's environment.
There are many ways you can "get your feet wet" helping out. In the spring and fall, volunteer salmon habitat planting events are scheduled nearly every weekend. Other opportunities range from caring for salvaged plants at the County's Native Plant Holding Facility to stenciling storm drains with educational messages. Join in yourself, or get your family, company, or organization involved!

Speak up and help shape the future of salmon conservation, growth management, and other environmental issues in King County.
County government works because it's here for all of us. You can help by getting involved in public decisions like how to restore salmon runs, manage our growth intelligently, or plan for future needs like sewage treatment. There are many opportunities to speak up - at public meetings or hearings, by contacting your elected officials via phone, letter or email, or by participating on a committee or board. You can also get involved locally in a neighborhood, community, or volunteer organization.
