Salmon Experience at Bayshore Preserve

Join Capitol Land Trust (CLT) and Puget Sound Estuarium to witness one of nature’s most extraordinary displays of migration and resilience. Every fall thousands of chum salmon return from the ocean to Johns Creek at our Bayshore Preserve where their lives began. Here they spawn, marking the transition of one generation of salmon to the next.

Salmon docents and underwater cameras will be at Bayshore Preserve on November 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12, 2023 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. They will be there to answer your questions about salmon behavior and our salmon habitat restoration efforts at Bayshore Preserve.

Join us for these special events:

Saturday, November 4, 10-2p, Shelton Timberland Library kids activity and prizes
Sunday, November 5, 12:30p, Bayshore Preserve Restoration Tour, meet at the kiosk

Our conserved public-access preserves give families and individuals year-round opportunities to enjoy outdoor experiences and create fond memories in nature that will last a lifetime. The return of salmon in the fall makes our Bayshore Preserve a particularly exceptional destination.
