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 mid-September to mid-October. \n\n\n\nVolunteers are essential to Salmon Watch! Each volunteer leads one of these field stations: \n\n\n\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\n\n\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!  \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Heath Keirstead at heath.keirstead@marionswcd.net. \n\n\n\nCan’t attend on 8/23 but still interested?
