Where art and river conservation meet, you’ll find Salmon for the Sandy. Western Rivers Conservancy (WRC) presents Salmon for the Sandy to celebrate the free-flowing future of our wild, backyard river, the Sandy River.
What’s happening on the Sandy? Portland General Electric has removed one of two dams and is contributing land to a new 5,000-acre natural resource and recreation area that WRC is creating with the Bureau of Land Management along the river. No other city in the nation will have such a treasure in its backyard.
To celebrate, regional artists painted, decorated and gilded 32 extraordinary salmon sculptures that were auctioned to benefit the Sandy.
