Community Event: 21st Annual Delta Watershed Fish Release

Celebrate Earth Month with us at the Watershed Fish Release on April 18, 2026, from 12:00–2:00pm. Enjoy a scenic walk or trail bike ride as you follow the fish-themed signage from the trailheads leading down to the event site. Help release 25,000 chum salmon fry into the stream and take part in tree planting activities while connecting more deeply with the watershed—an important natural resource for our community. Discover more about the local ecosystem through interactive educational displays and community activities. Get inspired, soak up the fresh air, and connect with nature in Delta’s beautiful Watershed.
