38th Annual Salmonid Restoration Conference

The 38th Annual Salmonid Restoration Conference is indefinitely postponed due to COVID-19. It is not feasible to produce the conference in the fall as we had hoped. We are exploring holding the 38th Annual Conference as a virtual event if it is not feasible to host a live conference in April 2021.
