The Salmon River Restoration Council (SRRC), a 501(c)(3) organization has been serving the Salmon River watershed and its community since 1992. The mission of our organization is to assess, protect, and maintain the Salmon River ecosystems with the active participation of the local community, focusing on the anadromous fisheries resource and the development of a sustainable economy. Through cooperative management activities, the Council addresses the distinct needs of the Salmon River sub-basin that arise due to the negative impacts of past catastrophic fires and fire management, timber harvest, road construction, mining, grazing, floods, residential and recreational use, as well as the inherent challenges faced in the rugged mountain environment.
