SUMMARY:Salmon Watch Volunteer Training
DESCRIPTION: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 September 15th to October 3rd. We offer these trips to elementary through high school -aged students. \nVolunteers are essential to Salmon Watch! Each volunteer leads one of these field stations: \n\nSalmon Biology: Help students understand what they are seeing as the salmon build redds and fight for position\, discuss the salmon life cycle\, perform a fish dissection\, and help students understand salmon’s cultural importance.\nMacroinvertebrates: Students wade into the river to explore and collect these marvelous indicators of water quality.\nWater Quality: Share the wonder of science with these tests – use tools and chemistry to test dissolved oxygen\, pH\, temperature\, and turbidity.\nRiparian Ecology: This station has a lot of room for you to make it your own as you introduce students to the connections between healthy riparian areas and healthy in-stream habitats.\n\nAttend this half-day training to help you prepare for your Salmon Watch. Whether you are a brand-new or returning Salmon Watch volunteer\, this training will have something for you! \nCan’t attend on 8/27 but still interested? Reach out to Kassi at Kassi.Roosth@marionswcd.net and she can share alternative options. \nREQUIRED BACKGROUND CHECK\nAll field trip volunteers must complete a background check\, it should only take a few minutes. \nClick here to initiate background check. \nThe background check is free (either choose to have Marion SWCD pay or you can choose to donate the fee.) \nRSVP to reserve your spot for Marion SWCD’s volunteer training on August 27th by Contacing Kassi at the information below. \nIf you need special accommodations\, including translation services\, in order to participate\, please call the event coordinator at 971-382-2000 or email kassi.roosth@marionswcd.net as far in advance as possible.
