WhyWild.org Relaunched
 TU's WhyWild Program has done a little spring cleaning and is now new and improved. Learn about chefs and fishermen who are doing their part to protect and sustain our wild salmon fisheries, and find new wild salmon recipes for the kitchen as well as ways you can get involved in some of TU's biggest salmon conservation campaigns. We'll be continuing to make minor changes to WhyWild.org over the coming weeks, so we thank you in advance for your patience.
Wild salmon are one of nature's wildest and most perfect foods. They are the lifeline of the Pacific Northwest, feeding entire ecosystems with their nutrient-rich bodies. To have sustainable and productive wild Pacific salmon fisheries, you need healthy rivers, streams and freshwater lakes which salmon call home during the beginning and end of their life cycle. Unfortunately, human disturbances and development have destroyed a large percentage of wild salmon habitat and continue to threaten the last remaining watersheds. That's why Trout Unlimited and its members work everyday to protect, reconnect, and restore wild salmon habitat throughout Pacific salmon's native range so that we might be able to harvest and celebrate wild salmon for generations to come.
We can't do it alone though. As a seafood lover, chef, fish monger, business owner, seafood processor, and/or fisherman, you play a critical role in the future of our wild salmon fisheries. We need your help in not only demanding that delicious wild salmon remain an option in our kitchens, but that they be abundant in our wild streams and rivers as well.
