Salmon-Safe certifies urban and agricultural land management practices that contribute to restoring stream eco-system health in important native salmon fisheries of the Pacific Northwest.
Farms producing products that carry the Salmon-Safe label have been evaluated by independent experts who certify the use of agricultural practices that promote healthy streams and wetlands, including water use, erosion control, reducing or eliminating chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and conservation of native biodiversity. Over the last decade, more than 240 farms have transitioned to Salmon-Safe farming practices, including a third of Oregon's wine grape acreage.
Salmon-Safe urban project evaluates the environmental management of corporate & university campuses, municipalities, and large-scale residential developments using a 3-person expert team of certifiers.
