WASHINGTON — Volunteers in southeast Washington are playing a crucial role in restoring the Tucannon River by returning salmon carcasses to the water. According to a report from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, over 30 volunteers recently gathered at Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery.
They worked together to load and distribute about 1,500 frozen fall Chinook salmon carcasses along the river. The effort involved splitting into groups to spread the fish at multiple sites, which will add nutrients for aquatic life and support future generations of salmon.
