More about the day
Whether you enjoy fishing for salmon or just watching them, or even grilling them…join local community conservation groups to celebrate the annual spawning run and the Grand Opening of the eye-popping 9 X 24 ft. mural depicting Dry Creek’s Chinook/King Salmon Life Cycle.
Hear how local People-Power created such a stunning work of art in the park, and chat with the volunteers that funded and painted the mural.
Enjoy Guided Walks to nearby Dry Creek to experience the world of urban wild salmon and understand the survival challenges they face.
Farmed salmon are an Atlantic Ocean species and cannot save Chinook / King Salmon that are Threatened With Species Extinction. Re-Wilding our local streams is part of the long term solution.
Learn from Citizen Conservationists how you can be part of local Save the Salmon projects in the Roseville/ Rocklin/ Lincoln area.

About SARSAS
SARSAS focuses on Auburn Ravine, partnering with organizations to improve riparian habitats and restore streams. Salmon and steelhead are anadromous species: they depend on healthy freshwater spawning grounds, clean water, and a diverse aquatic ecosystem.
Degraded habitat has reduced these ecosystems, but our collective efforts can restore salmon populations for future generations. Improving habitat benefits fish and human communities alike.
