Salmon Watch is a place-based, experiential field trip that introduces students to local watersheds and the salmon that inhabit them. The field trips are about 4 hours long and are scheduled for mid-September to mid-October. We offer these trips to elementary through high school aged students.
Volunteers are essential to Salmon Watch! Each volunteer leads one of these field stations:
