Salmon Returns is a Bioregional Fund reshaping the flow of capital—anchoring it in the vitality of the land, the strength of communities, and the wisdom of regeneration.

Flowing resources
into the hands of community

We are building an economy where financial prosperity is a direct result of restoring the land, uplifting communities, and ensuring long-term regional resilience.

A system where investment fuels regeneration—where every dollar creates both financial returns and biocultural wealth.

This is the shift from extraction to renewal, from harm to healing—an economy alive with opportunity, rooted in reciprocity, and designed to sustain life for generations to come.
