Teaching children about their native surroundings is a very important element of a teacher’s job. When children learn about the complex biology and diversity of their environment they develop a sense of pride and protection of that environment that can last a lifetime. The ESA Program salutes those of you who are dedicated to enriching the lives of children through education. We hope this web page will assist you in your teaching endeavors as they relate to wild salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
