Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here!
Because it means you’re interested in collaborating and sharing your thoughts
on the reintroduction of salmon to the blocked area above the Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee dams!
​
​
So, how can you contribute?
​
I’m asking for answers to just one question:
​
“What does the reintroduction of salmon to the area
above the Chief Joseph Dam mean to you?”
Here’s how you can share your response:
I’m collecting voice memos—simple recordings made on your tablet or phone—that can be sent via email or Google Drive.
Guidelines for Your Response:
Keep it under three minutes to ensure it’s easy to transfer and upload. While I understand that some responses may be more detailed and longer, the three-minute limit helps keep things manageable given today’s fast-paced digital environment and file size constraints.You may need to rehearse a bit to fit your response within the time frame, but I truly believe it’s possible—and that
your voice, stories, and feelings
on this issue are worth sharing with the world.​
​

A Quick Note on Anonymity: Due to federal rules, I am required to keep all responses anonymous. However, it would be wonderful to include a few general, non-identifiable details about you, such as your age and what you do for a living. If you’re comfortable, please include this information when you send your response.
PLEASE feel free to contact me with any questions and concerns around this issue. Thank you so much for being part of this important conversation. Your voice matters, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
