The Virtual Watershed Video Collection is part of SPAWN's "Salmon Grow on Trees!" environmental education program, supported by Save the Redwoods League. After salmon spawn and die in the redwood forests, their decaying carcasses disperse nitrogen and other nutrients into the forest ecosystem and lead to increased growth of redwoods and other riparian plants. The larger redwoods and dense plant growth in turn sequester and convert carbon from the atmosphere which can be linked to reducing the effects of climate change and helping preserve resources on a global scale. Enjoy these coho salmon videos, and watch for where the "Salmon Grow on Trees!"

This 10 minute video above,QUEST on KQED Public Media, details the symbiotic relationship between coho salmon and California's majestic redwoods. See underwater footage of how Salmon Grow on Trees!

The SPAWN camera goes underwater to watch the coho smolts released in the Sam Geronimo Creek after smolt outmigration monitoring in April, 2009.
