Salmon are Imprinting at Carkeek Park

The salmon volunteers are again this year operating the imprint pond at Carkeek Park.  Salmon fry spend time in the imprint pond to “imprint” the characteristics of the water in Venema Creek.  They return to spawn several years later, “remembering” the creek.

You can visit the pond. When you do the volunteers will ask you to maintain social distance as set out by public health authorities.
