With the new school year comes the return of one of the Watershed Council’s most treasured programs: Salmon Watch. During the months of September and November, students from across Lane County participate in the Salmon Watch Program to witness the magic of the salmon life cycle. Volunteers lead four stream-side learning stations on the topics of water quality, riparian ecology, salmon biology, and macroinvertebrates. It is an experience that has a lasting positive impact on students and their relationship with the natural world.
If you are someone who has a love for the environment and would like to help to grow that passion in the next generation, please join us for a Salmon Watch volunteer training session!
New volunteers are required to attend one or both training sessions before signing up to support trips. Training sessions will be held on the following dates:
Salmon Watch Volunteer Training on Friday, August 16th from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM at the McKenzie Watershed Council Office: Click Here to Sign Up
Salmon Watch Volunteer Training Field Module on Saturday September 21st from 10:00AM – 1:00PM at Carmen Smith Reservoir: Click Here to Sign Up
If you would like to volunteer at Salmon Watch, but cannot attend either training, please reach out to the Salmon Watch Coordinator at Dassy@middleforkwillamette.org
