Count the Carbon in your Wetland: Explore the Pacific Northwest Blue Carbon Calculator
February 17, 2026, 11am PST (Virtual WebEx)
Coastal wetlands such as tidal forested swamps, marshes, and seagrasses are among the most powerful natural carbon sinks in the Pacific Northwest. These habitats capture and store “blue carbon,” helping mitigate climate change while delivering resilience benefits such as buffering communities from flooding, improving water quality, and supporting fisheries and wildlife.
To fully realize these benefits, practical, science-based tools are needed to quantify the value of wetlands, data which can inform actionable decisions. To address this, the Pacific Northwest Blue Carbon Working Group has released the Regional Blue Carbon Calculator for the Pacific Northwest.
Join The Pew Charitable Trusts on February 17 at 11AM PST for a Wetland Carbon Network webinar introducing this new regional planning tool. Speakers will cover why and how the calculator was developed, demonstrate its use, and share real-world applications.
Low-Tech Approaches for Salmon Habitat Restoration
March 12, 2026, 9am – 3:30pm PST (on Zoom)
Low‑tech restoration approaches are rapidly gaining popularity as practitioners and funders seek affordable, scalable ways to restore natural processes, address stream impairments, and reintroduce structure and habitat complexity in watersheds. Over the past several decades of implementing these projects, we have monitored their effectiveness, refined our techniques, and created a space for innovation to achieve maximum benefit for minimum cost. In many settings, low‑tech approaches offer a cost‑effective and ecologically grounded way to achieve salmon recovery outcomes.
This virtual workshop, co‑hosted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Pacific Salmon Foundation, and Washington’s Governor Salmon Recovery Office, brings together experts to discuss the latest practices and emerging techniques in low‑tech restoration. Presenters will share their expertise and lessons learned from implementing projects at a range of scales and offer guidance on where low‑tech approaches are most effective. Participants will gain practical insights and expert guidance to help advance the use of low‑tech methods in watershed stewardship and salmon recovery.
