Salmon Nation is a bioregion defined by the historic range of wild Pacific salmon – from the Salinas River in California, north to the Yukon River in Alaska. The Cascadia bioregion is nested within Salmon Nation, which extends further both north and south.
As described by the Salmon Nation Trust:
"Salmon Nation is also an idea – that we can organize ourselves as a nature state in a big, diverse, powerful and holistic integration of people and place, with thriving local communities living in deep relationship with the lands and waters that nourish all of us."[1]

"Salmon Nation is one of the most beautiful and bountiful natural places ever shared by humans. The very act of defining this region, where people and Wild Pacific salmon live, is a homage to our remarkable good fortune to live here."[2]

Mission
Changing climate and failing systems demand new approaches to everything we do.
Salmon Nation Trust’s mission is to inspire, enable, and invest in regenerative development through whole-system design and the acceleration and replication of what works.
We know there are many thousands of people in this bioregion engaged in deep innovation that brings vibrant health to our home.
Our offering is to support them.
Our hope is to find truly radical and profound relationship patterns amongst human enterprise, local cultures and healthy natural systems.
Our success is expressed by the number, diversity, and quality of creative individuals who we identify, connect, and support.[3]
Edge Communities
Our central observation is that there are abundant enterprising individuals, particularly in ‘edge communities’ outside dominant centers of power and money, who are actively adapting to climate change and innovating pathways to more reliable prosperity.
At the edges are the seeds of new ways to live in step with natural systems. Edges are rural and urban. Edges are diverse. Edges are innovative.
At the edges are where we spark the wholesale re-imagining of our economy and environment in Salmon Nation.[4]
