SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting – Dungeness River Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC on February 18th to plant trees and shrubs along the Dungeness River at the Dungeness River Nature Center!\nAn aerial image of the Dungeness River\, taken in 2020. Photo by John Gussman. \nJust downstream from the Dungeness River Nature Center\, this site is located in dense riparian forest. Growth in the understory has been limited by deep shade\, and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has recently taken measures to thin this section of forest and allow for a more robust assortment of native understory plants. Building on the Nature Center’s plantings earlier this year\, we will be planting the riparian understory with shade-tolerant plants to boost the area’s biodiversity and provide new and improved habitat for native birds\, insects\, amphibians\, mammals\, and more! \nPlanting Details:\nWednesday\, February 18th \n10am – 2pm \nPlease arrive by 10am for site orientation. We’ll take a break for lunch around noon. A site tour will take place at about 1:30pm. \nPlease bring lunch\, water\, and layers/footwear you need to be comfortable in our winter weather! \nDirections will be provided in RSVP confirmation email. \n \n\nTop: A volunteer plants native plants along the Dungeness River.

SUMMARY:Bioblitz
DESCRIPTION:What is a Bioblitz?\nA Bioblitz is a citizen science biological inventory where a group of people work to locate and identify as many species (plants\, animals\, fungi\, etc.) as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. It differs from traditional scientific inquiry\, which is usually limited to trained professionals\, in that it brings together volunteer scientists\, families\, and other members of the general public. Community members get the opportunity to work alongside scientists to learn about the biological diversity of local natural spaces while gaining skills and knowledge to develop a stronger connection to these spaces. Species identifications will be recorded using the iNaturalist App or via a paper recording form. The iNaturalist app can be downloaded on a smartphone for free and will help compile the cumulative data in real time. Learn more about the app at A Community for Naturalists · iNaturalist. \nAbout the event\nThis Bioblitz will take place on Saturday\, April 25th from 10:00-3:00 at the North Olympic Wildlife Area—Discovery Bay Unit\, located 14 miles southeast of Port Townsend at the head of Discovery Bay. This area has been the site of extensive restoration work to restore habitat for endangered Hood Canal Summer Chum\, coho\, and steelhead. This restoration work includes riparian\, stream\, wetland\, and nearshore areas that provide habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. Long term monitoring of the entire ecosystem gives us and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (the landowner) important information about the recovery of these ecosystems and the far-reaching impacts of restoration work. \nWhat to expect\nParticipants can expect to walk a mile or two throughout the course of the day’s activities\, but topography at the site is flat with only occasional small obstacles such as downed trees to maneuver around. Please bring warm clothes\, raingear (just in case!)\, footwear for wet/muddy conditions\, and a sack lunch. Weather in late April can be hit or miss\, we could have beautiful blue skies or precipitation\, so be prepared for either!

SUMMARY:Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Class
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC to monitor macroinvertebrates at Chimacum Creek!\nMacroinvertebrate. It’s a term that is familiar to some\, but unfamiliar to many. Macroinvertebrates are small organisms that lack a backbone\, are visible to the naked eye\, and are large enough to be easily collected. Aquatic macroinvertebrates include insects\, crustaceans\, bivalves\, gastropods\, and annelids. The particular assemblage of aquatic macroinvertebrates in a given waterway can be an excellent indicator of ecosystem health. This is because different species have varying levels of tolerance to pollution and disturbance. Some\, like stoneflies and mayflies are highly sensitive to changes in water quality\, while organisms like crayfish\, leeches\, black flies and midges are much less sensitive. Macroinvertebrate sampling is a fun and relatively simple way to assess stream health and NOSC has been facilitating sampling activities in local streams and rivers for several years. Come join us on Thursday\, May 21st from 10 am – 1 pm at HJ Carroll Park in Chimacum as we analyze the creek’s health through macroinvertebrate sampling. This is an activity that is appropriate for all ages\, so feel free to bring the family along! \nEvent Details:\nThursday\, May 21st \n10 am – 1 pm \nPlease arrive by 10 am for site orientation and training. Bring snacks\, water\, layers appropriate for our spring weather. If you’d like to participate in the collection of macroinvertebrates from the creek\, please bring waterproof boots. NOSC will have a limited supply of hip waders available on a first come first served basis. \n \nTop: photo of a mayfly nymph courtesy Tom Murray.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Stewardship Day: Butterfly Bush Deadheading
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Deadhead-ers! Help us manage invasive Butterfly Bush on the Dungeness River this summer. Seed banks of this invasive shrub can be managed by the removal of flowers prior to seeding\, mitigating the spread of the plant prior to removal.   \nTools and gloves will be provided. Please wear long pants and bring water and a lunch. Footing at the site is uneven. We will be working on rocky gravel bars. Activity ranges from mild to moderate and can be adapted to ability level.  \nAbout the project:  \nWith the Dungeness Riparian Recovery Project\, NOSC is working with willing landowners on the Dungeness River and its tributaries to remove invasive plants like butterfly bush and knotweed in the riparian corridor before planting or seeding the areas with native plants that support pollinators and salmon. Although pretty\, these plants quickly take over gravel bars and stream banks\, excluding the growth of native plants. In order to prevent reseeding from plants upstream\, butterfly bush removal is tackled from upstream to downstream to eliminate seeds from being transported by the water flow. So far\, NOSC has removed butterfly bush from nearly 3 miles of the Dungeness and associated side channels. Downstream seeds banks can be mitigated through deadheading plants that are too large to pull – cutting off the flowers before they go the seed. Each flower cluster can produce up to 40\,000 seeds!  \n \nThis project is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and- invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution\, creating jobs\, and improving public health.

SUMMARY:Stories with Fin the Salmon - Sequim Library Branch
DESCRIPTION:The North Olympic Salmon Coalition is partnering with the North Olympic Library System to offer salmon stories for kids! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nKids (and their grownups!) can learn about salmon\, their life cycle\, and conservation through stories with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition. Fin the Salmon will visit and kids can explore the murals in her belly after the presentation. \nThis program will be held outside and the story portion of the program will be moved inside in the case of inclement weather. For more information\, visit: https://events.nols.org/event/16367895 \n  \n\nEvent Details: \nThursday\, July 30th\, 10:30 – 11:30 am \nSequim Library Branch \n630 N Sequim Ave\, Sequim\, WA 98382 \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Member Tour: Pedersen Nearshore Project
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC for our first Member Tour of 2026!\nMember Tours give Salmon Coalition Members the opportunity to see the impact of the work they support with tours of complete\, in-progress\, or upcoming projects with staff members. \nAfter 25 years of restoration work in Discovery Bay\, one of the next pieces of the puzzle is falling into place. This summer\, crews break ground at the Pedersen Project\, located on a parcel recently acquired by Jefferson Land Trust\, and you’re invited to see the work up close.  \nJoin Project Manager Kevin Long on Wednesday\, August 12 at 10am for a casual “hard hat”-style tour of the active restoration site (we likely won’t need actual hard hats). Kevin will walk you through why nearshore and estuary habitat matters so much for young salmon\, how old infrastructure like bulkheads and railroad grades disrupts this zone\, and what NOSC and our engineering partners plan to accomplish before the season ends. The Discovery Bay effort has already returned benefits well beyond salmon\, supporting shorebirds\, shellfish\, and marine mammals\, and this project builds on that momentum.  \nSpace is limited and RSVP is required. Sign up yourself and guests below. \nWhat to expect: the tour covers mostly flat\, firm ground with minimal walking. Park along the road and take a short stroll down a gravel drive to the site.  \nDriving directions are provided in registration confirmation. \n  \nFill out my LGL Form!

SUMMARY:Stream Stewards - Salmon Biology & Restoration
DESCRIPTION:The Stream Stewards Program\, originally developed by Washington State University’s Jefferson County Extension and now hosted by the Salmon Coalition\, provides Jefferson and Clallam County residents with the opportunity to turn environmental knowledge into action. Through this 5-week course\, participants learn about connections between our lands and waters by diving into topics such as stream ecology and restoration\, salmon biology and habitats\, managing urban watersheds\, riparian forests\, tribal roles in restoration\, and fisheries management. You will connect with local natural resource experts in classroom sessions and field experiences and learn about opportunities to get involved in local efforts to steward and restore our local watersheds. \nUpon completion\, volunteers are asked to commit to 20 volunteer hours to an organization of their choice over the following year. Volunteer hours can be applied to a wide range of opportunities that work toward the larger goal of improving local ecosystem health. From getting involved in a citizen science project to engaging in public outreach\, volunteers can connect with opportunities that fit their skills and interests. Through this program\, we hope to connect you to many of these organizations that host volunteer opportunities. \nThroughout the training\, organizations will provide participants with information about local projects and offer exciting opportunities to plug in and make a difference on the Olympic Peninsula. \nThe 5-week course fee will be $100 and classes will take place every Wednesday in September from 9am – 2pm at various locations in Jefferson and Clallam Counties. \nWant to just take one or two of the classes? We have now opened up single session registration. You can register for one or multiple sessions individually. Each single session is $25.\nSESSION SCHEDULE:\n\n\n\nSession 1 – September 2nd\, 9am-2pm\nSalmon Biology & Restoration \n\n\nWatershed Focus – Salmon & Snow Creeks\, Discovery Bay \n\n\n\n\nLearn the basics of salmon biology in our region and the science behind restoring salmon habitat. We’ll visit Discovery Bay to dive deeper into a case study of salmon restoration\, learning about what the monitoring data tells us about salmon recovery in these watersheds and how lands and waters are managed for long term conservation. \n\n\nNorth Olympic Salmon Coalition\, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife\, Jefferson Land Trust \nSession 2 – September 9th\, 9am-2pm\n\n\n\nManaging Critical Resources: Water & Salmon \n\n\nWatershed Focus – Dungeness River \n\n\n\n\nTake a deep dive into complex topics of managing our local natural resources.

We’ll also tackle topics of water resource management and climate resiliency in the dryest part of the Olympic rainshadow. \n\n\nJamestown S’Klallam Tribe\, North Olympic Land Trust\, Clallam County \n\n\n\nSession 3 – September 16th\, 9am-2pm\n\n\n\nThinking Big – Watershed Scale Restoration \n\n\nWatershed Focus – Tarboo Creek \n\n\n\n\nUsing Tarboo Creek as a case study\, we’ll explore how to approach watershed-wide restoration\, from stream restoration\, land preservation\, forest management\, to invasive species management. Sometimes restoration efforts are small and focused on a small reach or specific area\, and sometimes\, we have the opportunity to think much larger! \n\n\nNorthwest Institute\, 10\,000 Years Institute \n\n\n\nSession 4 – September 23rd\, 9am-2pm\n\n\n\nFrom the Mountains to the Sea \n\n\nWatershed Focus – Elwha River \n\n\n\n\nTake a deep dive into everything Elwha! We’ll start at the top\, learning about glacial monitoring and how climate change is impacting the Elwha River before diving into the unique research opportunities tracking marine-derived nutrients post-dam removal. We’ll also take a look at the management of water resources and balancing the needs of people and salmon\, before capping off the day looking closely at the next steps of Elwha River restoration. \n\n\nOlympic National Park\, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe Natural Resources\, Clallam County \n\n\n\nSession 5 – September 30th\, 9am-2pm\n\n\n\nCaring for Urban Watersheds \n\n\nWatershed Focus – Tumwater & Ennis Creeks \n\n\n\n\nUrban watersheds are some of the most complex watersheds to restore\, protect\, and steward long-term. Explore the junction of social and environmental issues that meet in the urban watersheds of Port Angeles and the people and organizations taking creative measures to care for these places. We’ll also zoom out and connect with WSDOT to learn about the culvert replacement projects happening in our region. \n\n\n4PA\, Washington Department of Transportation\, Clallam County Streamkeepers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Member Tour: Price Street Site
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC for our second Member Tour of 2026!\nMember Tours give Salmon Coalition Members the opportunity to see the impact of the work they support with tours of complete\, in-progress\, or upcoming projects with staff members. \nJoin Project Manager Kevin Long on Thursday\, October 1 at 10am for a casual tour of the Price Street restoration site in Port Hadlock. The site sits above critical spawning habitat for endangered Hood Canal summer chum salmon in Chimacum Creek. After decades of restoration helped bring summer chum back to the creek\, erosion\, dumping\, abandoned vehicles\, stormwater runoff\, and other impacts at the Price Street property threatened that progress. Kevin will share how partners worked together to remove vehicles\, a trailer\, concrete slab\, septic system\, and other debris; stabilize the eroding bank; and plant native vegetation. The project helps protect approximately 1.5 miles of heavily used summer chum spawning habitat downstream. \nSpace is limited and RSVP is required. Sign up yourself and guests below. \nWhat to expect: the tour start off Price Street itself then proceeds down the bank via a short trail to the edge of Chimacum Creek \nDriving directions are provided in registration confirmation. \n  \nFill out my LGL Form!

SUMMARY:Barerooting Plants for Orca Recovery Day
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer to help NOSC bareroot plants to prepare them for our Orca Recovery Day planting on the 17th! \nWe will be working at the NOSC Nursery at Finnriver Farm & Cidery to remove native trees and shrubs from their storage pots. Now moving into dormancy for the winter\, these plants can be transported for planting by removing the potting soil from their roots. This allows us to prepare and transport large quantities of plants more efficiently. \nWe will meet at 2PM at the NOSC Garage and walk out to the nursery. Please RSVP for driving directions. \n \n

SUMMARY:Volunteer Stewardship: Make a Difference Day
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC to steward a restoration site along Discovery Bay! The Maynard restoration project was completed over ten years ago\, after removing 150 creosote pilings from an abandoned railway and restoring 1\,700 feet to natural shoreline. The result is habitat for hard shell clams and forage fish\, an important food fish for salmon\, among many other species. We will continue the work to provide healthy habitat by picking up trash and removing invasives at the Maynard site in celebration of Make a Difference Day. \n  \nEvent Details: \nSaturday\, October 24th \n10am – 2pm \nPlease arrive by 10am for site orientation. We’ll take a break for lunch around noon. A site tour will take place around 1:30. \nTools and gloves will be provided. Please wear layers appropriate for the weather and bring water and a lunch. Footing at the site is uneven. Activity ranges from mild to moderate and can be adapted to ability level.  \nDirections will be provided in RSVP confirmation email.
