Salmon Watch Training
From Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council:
The Salmon Watch Program is a series of field trips designed to get students into the outdoors and witness the one-of-a-kind spawning habits of salmon while getting an intimate look at the habitats that provide a stable environment for these behaviors. Students receive lessons in salmon biology, water quality, riparian habitats, and aquatic macroinvertebrates – even carcass observation on lucky occasions! A passionate group of staff members, agency partners, and community volunteers teach each topic through engaging hands-on activities making each field trip a unique and impactful educational experience.
