Monday, October 10th: The Dalles Middle School at Little White Salmon River
Tuesday, October 11th: Creative Science School (M.S) at Eagle Creek

Friday, October 14th: Project YESS/YEC Training Session
With the conclusion of Salmon Watch Week #4, we’ve now completed 23 field trips with 28 left to go!
The Project YESS/YEC Training Session was a huge success! Eight members of the Youth Ecology Corps (YEC) based out of Mt. Hood Community College came out to Eagle Creek to learn how to teach our four field trip stations: Salmon Biology, Macroinvertebrate Sampling, Water Quality Testing, and Riparian Zone Observation. They did a great job, learned a lot, and had lots of fun!
A high school student named Jake also came out to the training as part of our new High School Leaders Program. Jake is the third member of the program, which is off to a great start. Also in Week #4, another student from Canby High School named Nick taught the Macroinvertebrate Sampling station at Little White Salmon River for The Dalles Middle School. Thanks so much to our High School Leaders and members of the Youth Ecology Corps for helping to educate younger students about the natural world and the importance of salmon for Pacific Northwest ecosystems.
Salmon Watch continues next week with 7 field trips!
