About Us

The Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group is a nonprofit organization at the Salmon Center in Belfair, WA. We deepen the connection between land, people, and salmon. This happens through restoration, education, and research. We are located on a re-purposed family farm on the tip of the Hood Canal. Our campus includes 38 acres of organic produce gardens, farm animals, and a classroom. We also access the trail system throughout the restored Union River Estuary Preserve. We operate a small organic demonstration farm where we host education programs to improve food access in our community. We also teach about nutrition and sustainable farming's positive impacts on salmon. The member will deliver our nutrition and garden program. They will also manage our gardens for community access and provide community resources for home gardeners. We expect to begin rolling interviews in June.
