Friends of Northwest Hatcheries is a non-profit group of volunteers dedicated to supporting, providing for and enhancing natural resource education and interpretation. The goal of Friends is to foster the education, especially of young people, in the conservation and continuing stewardship of our fish and wildlife resources and their habitat. We do this through actively supporting such activities as the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival, natural resource scholarships, seminars and lectures, operating the Dworshak Spawn Shop in Ahsahka, Idaho. This gift store is filled with unique fish and wildlife merchandise and educational materials.

Friends works in conjunction with the Leavenworth, Entiat and Winthrop hatcheries and has chapters located at several other Pacific Northwest Hatcheries including Spring Creek and Carson in Washington and Dworshak, Kooksia and Hagerman in Idaho. We thank the hard-working volunteers of Friends for their support!
