Salmon Watch continued this week with 7 more field trips!
This week we concluded our field trips at Zigzag River, and saw the start of field trips at Eagle Creek and Little White Salmon River. We also had one field trip on the North Fork of the Lewis River in Washington with Hudson’s Bay High School.
Participating Salmon Watch schools included:
Tuesday, October 4th: The Dalles Middle School at Little White Salmon River
Wednesday, October 5th: Clackamas Web Academy (H.S.) at Eagle Creek
Thursday, October 6th: Scott School K-8 at Eagle Creek
Thursday, October 6th: Hudson’s Bay High School at the North Fork of the Lewis River
Thursday, October 6th: Franklin High School at Zigzag River
Friday, October 7th: The Dalles Middle School at Little White Salmon River
Friday, October 7th: Franklin High School at Zigzag River
Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery provided salmon carcasses for dissection in the Salmon Biology station, and one of the hatchery biologists taught the Macroinvertebrate Sampling station on Friday with The Dalles Middle School. Thanks so much to LWS-NFH and all the public agencies that contribute in various ways to Salmon Watch!
We are also beginning to receive student evaluations from our participating schools, in which students share their newfound salmon knowledge and what they enjoyed most about their field trips. Edward, 8th grader at ACCESS Academy, said, “The Macroinvertebrate Identification was my favorite station because I enjoyed looking at the bugs up close. The viewing of the bugs using the magnifying tool was fun because I got to see the inside of a bug because the bottom of it was transparent.”
Photos in this article feature the Macroinvertebrate station at Zigzag River on Thursday with Franklin High School and new Salmon Watch teacher, Erin Ferro.
Once again, incredible thanks to all our passionate and dedicated volunteer educators and teachers. See you next week, when we have 4 more field trips and our Project YESS/YEC training session!
