Hello from the World Salmon Council! We hope you have been having a tremendous and fulfilling summer. Our team has been making the most of these warm, sunny days, but we’ve also been dreaming & scheming for the fall, and we need your help!As you may know, our Fall 2021 Field Trips will be offered in person! Community support is a central pillar of what makes Salmon Watch trips possible, as all of our educators are volunteers. Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or just curious about the natural world, we’d be thrilled to have you.
There is no prior experience needed, and the only time commitments involved are attending a training day in August or September and supporting a field trip.
What to expect on a field trip…As a reminder, volunteering with a Salmon Watch Field Trip means accompanying middle- and high-school classes on their Salmon Watch field trip to beautiful salmon spawning sites in the Mt. Hood National Forest, Columbia River Gorge or Mid-Coast Range. Volunteers facilitate short rotating stations, choosing one of four study areas: Salmon BiologyMacroinvertebrate SamplingWater Quality TestingRiparian Zone ObservationA synopsis of station topics can be found here. All training sessions will take place at Wildwood Rec Site near Welches, from 9am-1pm. Training dates are Saturday, August 14th; Saturday, August 21st; and Saturday, September 18th. If you’ve already gone on a field trip with us, attending a training is optional, but you’re welcome to come get a refresher if you like!
