About this project.
The Endangered Southern Resident Orca have called the stretch of Pacific Ocean from Northern California to British Columbia home for millennia. Every year, as the Orcas migrate North to South and back again they rely on the West Coast Chinook salmon for food (nearly 80% of their diet). However, salmon stocks are diminishing due to loss of habitat and increasing pollution. This ultimately impacts the Orca downstream. Planting trees along rivers and streams of the Pacific Northwest restores habitat for the West Coast Chinook Salmon. Trees help reduce pollution and improve the health and quantity of salmon for the orca to eat!
