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 🐟
