Discover Chelan Ranch’s Salmon-Safe Certification. Sustainability at Chelan Ranch isn’t just a practice—it’s a promise. With Salmon-Safe certification, our organic farming actively protects vital salmon habitats. Why does this matter? Let’s explore.
What Is Salmon-Safe Certification?
Salmon-Safe is an eco-certification program that promotes farming practices that protect water quality and salmon habitats. It ensures that agricultural operations reduce runoff, manage water responsibly, and maintain healthy ecosystems for aquatic wildlife.
Founded in the Pacific Northwest—a region known for iconic salmon—the program prioritizes clean water and biodiversity. Salmon-Safe certification reflects a deep commitment to environmental stewardship for farms like ours.
Why Is Salmon-Safe Certification Important?
Salmon are vital to the Pacific Northwest’s ecosystem and culture. These fish need clean, cool water and pristine habitats to thrive. Unfortunately, poor farming practices can harm waterways and salmon populations.
By becoming Salmon-Safe certified, Chelan Ranch ensures:
- Waterways Are Protected: Farming techniques minimize runoff, erosion, and pollutants entering local rivers and streams.
- Habitats Are Preserved: Healthy riparian zones and wetlands support fish and other wildlife.
- Pesticide Use Is Reduced: Organic methods align with Salmon-Safe’s mission to keep harmful chemicals out of water systems.
