Thrilled to have attended a powerful gathering at the 43rd Annual Salmonid Restoration Conference, Redding, California, and if you were there, you know: this year felt different.

From the opening plenary, we were reminded that restoration isn't just biology. It's culture. It's fire. It's listening.

Chief Caleen Sisk of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, , brought us back to the beginning — restoring Nur (salmon) to their ancestral waters, guided by the stars and the stories that have always known the way. challenged us to think beyond rivers, to the communities whose lives are woven into every watershed. Dr. Rachel Johnson asked us to listen to the salmon themselves — their life history diversity as our roadmap home. And Lenya Quinn-Davidson, , reminded us that fire, like water, is a force we must learn to work with, not against.

Two days of workshops and field tours. A plenary that left us grounded.

Concurrent sessions that connected practitioners, biologists, tribal members, scientists, and landowners across the table.

This is the work: messy, interdisciplinary, deeply human, and utterly essential.

Look forward to sharing more about the amazing restoration work that is happening now with the and 🐟

Welcome to DC Climate Week 2026! We have two student volunteers from our ESP and EPC programs who will be supporting us throughout our work.

Please meet Olivia Everitt. She is a student in the ESP program. She is originally from San Francisco but has loved getting to explore the DMV area recently. She currently works in the US Patent and Trademark Office and is interested in all things environmentally focused, specifically water resource science and policy.

Please also meet Colby Belmarsh. He is a student in the ESP program and is currently attending classes in addition to his job working in local parks. His interests mostly involve ecology and conservation, but he loves to learn about anything related to the environmental field of study.

We're so grateful for their support today as they help us showcase our sessions and our programs at DC Climate Week!
