Education for the Future

One of our goals at the Sooke River hatchery is education. The next generation of care takers of our oceans and the creatures in it are as important as salmon are to the Salish Sea. Teaching children of all ages about salmon and their role in our local waters provides and opportunity to engage in your own backyard.

Raise salmon in your own classroom!

Bring the wonders of salmon into your classroom! Raising these resilient creatures offers hands-on lessons in biology and environmental stewardship. Students not only witness the miracle of life but also develop a deep connection to our local waters. This hands-on experience fosters a sense of responsibility and curiosity, inspiring a new generation of environmental caretakers. By nurturing salmon in the classroom, we empower students to actively contribute to the health and sustainability of our oceans and the creatures within.
