Free the Snake
It’s time we #FreeTheSnake. Snake
River Salmon have been trucked, put on barges, diverted up fish ladders
– all in the hope that enough would get by four dams to reach their
historic habitat. But, It’s not working.
Four deadbeat dams on the lower Snake River have put the local salmon
on the brink of extinction.
Free the Snake is
the latest example of Patagonia’s heightened focus
on rallying global support around critical backyard conservation
initiatives. We’re drawing on two main sources of inspiration: the
sports we love, which allow us to spend time in nature, and the
grassroots activists working in their own communities to protect
their piece of the planet, which Patagonia has supported for years
through the grants program.
