Slough Supper Postponed
We have heard from many of you that you love the idea of toasting the Slough together but your holiday calendar is already too full to join us this Thursday. With that in mind, we have decided to postpone the Slough Supper after the holiday season to be able to include more of you!

Watch for an updated invitation in the new year. 
Upcoming Events
Holiday Tree Toss
Saturday, Jan. 4, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Santa may deliver his gifts by sleigh, but this holiday season you can by canoe!

Help us give the gift of habitat to salmon in the Slough! With all the tinsel and lights removed, we will re-purpose discarded holiday trees by strategically inserting them into existing log jams to increase beneficial salmon habitat in the lower Columbia Slough.

We provide the trees, boats, and hot cocoa. You provide rain gear and holiday cheer!

Thank you to Stephen Rice for producing our event poster! Check out his work on Instagram: @yahwth
