October marked the beginning of hands-on, field-based restoration projects for more than 100 seventh grade students from Blue Heron and Chimacum Middle Schools. Students will oversee a year-long restoration project at Salmon Creek over the course of classroom visits and field trips. Together, students’ creativity and problem-solving skills create restoration plans for the care of this land—from initial restoration designs to implementation to drawing up maintenance plans and budgets for continued stewardship.

Check out this video made by Isaac, a Chimacum School student, to see the field trip from a student perspective. Thanks, Isaac! This video makes our heart soar.

Volunteers are on site to help students make connections and observations. We need volunteer support in the classroom and out in the field—rain or shine!
