Free Linn Benton Salmon Watch Trainings available
Imagine sharing the wonder of salmon migration with children as they witness the final stage of salmon’s epic journey for the first time. Visualize the look on a student’s face as an osprey swoops down and snatches a fish from the river before their very eyes. Relive the time you spent exploring streams as a kid as you guide youth through the process of collecting nymphs, snails, and crawdads. These moments are yours to experience when you sign up as a Salmon Watch volunteer. Field trips are scheduled to align with the salmon life cycle: September-early October field trips are held in Sweet Home and mid-October-early November field trips are held in Alsea.
Sign up for one of a Volunteer Training
Linn Benton Salmon Watch invites you to attend a free training specially designed to prepare volunteers for field trips. You’ll learn how to teach watershed topics and get ready to work with kids outside. A fish biologist will describe the salmon life cycle and you will get to practice two of these three lessons: 1) water quality, 2) riparian ecology, and 3) macroinvertebrate sampling.
Each volunteer will receive a packet including Salmon Watch curriculum and tips for teaching youth. Refreshments will be provided!
Get hands-on with the station activities at one of the volunteer trainings listed below.
August 23, 12-4pm at the Old Mill Center, Corvallis
