About the Little Campbell Hatchery:
The current hatchery building has been subjected to years of flooding over its nearly 40-year history. During the devastating atmospheric river floods of 2021, the hatchery was further damaged and tens of thousands of fish eggs were destroyed when the building was under three feet of water.SFGC is planning to construct a new building on higher ground – safe from the flooding hazards of the future. As well, it will modernize its equipment and operating systems to grow even more. It is estimated that each year, the SFGC hatchery releases an additional 100,000 salmon into the river system – over the past 40 years that equates to approximately 3.5 - 4 million salmon. Now that’s a conservation story!
Thanks to our Sponsors and Partners, Salmon Sessions Music Festival can be an annual community festival event supporting the hatchery and showcasing local talent, businesses and organizations. Based on the success of 2025, the festival can grow to a two day event in 2026.
