The Adams River has one of the largest Sockeye salmon runs in North America and every fourth year is a “dominant” salmon run. This has been such a year with over 3.5 million sockeye forecast. Hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world have been flocking to Roderick Haig-Brown Park to see Nature in full reproduction. This year the Pacific Salmon Foundation partnered with Rocky Mountaineer in providing the Adams River Salmon Society with a $75,000 grant for educational kiosks and a new viewing platform. Thanks to the educational kiosks, hundreds of school groups will return home with a heightened understanding of salmon’s importance.
