SUMMARY:First Friday: Army Corps Operations in the Willamette Basin
DESCRIPTION:Presentation: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Operations in the Willamette Basin with emphasis on the Santiam Basin \nThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates and maintains a system of 13 dams and reservoirs within the Willamette River basin of northwestern Oregon. Each dam contributes to a water resource management system providing flood risk management\, hydroelectric power generation\, water quality improvement\, irrigation and municipal water supply\, recreation\, and ecosystem habitat benefits on the Willamette River and many of its tributaries (authorizations). System operations often require balancing across the multiple authorized purposes. Achieving this balance is complex and has changed over the life of the Willamette Project. Often\, objectives to support one fish life history\, species\, or authorized purposes conflict with another. This presentation will provide background on the system\, review existing operations\, and explore future changes to the system. \nPresenter: Greg Taylor\, Supervisory Fisheries Biologist\, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) \nGreg Taylor has been employed as a fisheries biologist in the Willamette Basin since February 1998. He worked for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for 3 years conducting investigations on bull trout in the McKenzie and Middle Fork Willamette Basins. Since November 2001(23 years) Greg has been employed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a Supervisory Fisheries Biologist for the Willamette and Rogue Projects. He is responsible for operation and maintenance of fish facilities\, serves as a technical advisor on fisheries issues\, and implementation of the Willamette Project Biological Opinion. \nThe Marion SWCD is an equal opportunity employer\, providing services to the public without regard to race\, religion\, color\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, national origin\, mental or physical disability\, marital status\, age or other protected status or activity in accordance with applicable law. Persons who require alternative means for communication of program information should contact us at 503.391.9927 or office@marionswcd.net.

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. 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! \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Heath Keirstead at heath.keirstead@marionswcd.net. \nCan’t attend on 8/28 but still interested? Our friends at Linn Benton Salmon Watch have volunteer trainings (dates TBD). Learn more here. \nRSVP to reserve your spot for Marion SWCD’s volunteer training on August 28. \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.) \nIf you need special accommodations\, including translation services\, in order to participate\, please call the event coordinator at 503-949-4709 or email heath.keirstead@marionswcd.net as far in advance as possible.
