Erosion and runoff from hill side vineyards can bring silt into streams,
reducing the ability of native salmon to spawn and thrive. That's why
Salmon-Safe, in partnership with Low Input
Viticulture and Enology and Oregon Tilth,
is working with pioneering wine grape growers to protect important salmon
watersheds and produce world class wine.

Salmon-Safe helps vineyards protect and restore salmon habitat by planting
trees on streams, growing cover crops to control run-off, and apply natural
methods to control weeds and pests. Vineyards that meet our rigorous standards
earn certification, giving them the honor of using the Salmon-Safe label.
Look for the Salmon Safe label in your favorite wine shop or supermarket and
get the satisfaction of knowing that your purchase is helping keep our rivers
safe for salmon.
