About this project.
The Endangered Southern Resident Orca have called the stretch of Pacific Ocean from Northern California to British Columbia home for millennia. Every year, as the Orcas migrate North to South and back again they rely on the West Coast Chinook salmon for food (nearly 80% of their diet). However, salmon stocks are diminishing due to loss of habitat and increasing pollution. This ultimately impacts the Orca downstream. Planting trees along rivers and streams of the Pacific Northwest restores habitat for the West Coast Chinook Salmon. Trees help reduce pollution and improve the health and quantity of salmon for the orca to eat!
Location
Pacific Northwest
Project Type
Restoration and reforestation of trees and vegetation that will bring the greatest overall benefit to the region, the salmon, and the Southern Resident Orca.
Environmental Benefits
- Orca restoration
- Salmon restoration
- Carbon sequester
- Alleviate climate change
- Habitat conservation
- Improve local water quality
- Soil retention
Each project is carefully vetted to make sure they reduce carbon, restore wildlife and support local communities.

More projects we support.
Senegal
46.7% of Senegal’s population lives below the poverty line. We’re focusing on the reforestation of Fatick, a town of about 25,000 in western Senegal.
U.S. National Forests
Working on behalf of the American public, the NFF leads forest conservation efforts and promotes responsible recreation. We believe these lands, and all they provide, are an American treasure and are vital to the health of our communities.
Madagascar
Madagascar is a nation with over 200,000 species of plants and animals that don’t exist anywhere else in the world. But more than 90% of original forests have been destroyed, displacing entire animal species and taking away the Malagasy’s ability to farm and live on the land.
Haiti
Haiti is the world’s 3rd hungriest country, and only 2% of the country’s original forests remain.
California
Devastated by wild fires this year, California needs our help now more than ever. We’re planting trees in the Plumas National Forest to help recoup the 65,000 acres burned in the 2007 Moonlight Fire.
Appalachia
Planting trees here will benefit nearby communities as hydrological function will be improved, thus providing them with better quality water. This project also creates meaningful jobs in communities suffering from high rates of poverty and unemployment.
