SUMMARY:Coho Spawner Survey Training
DESCRIPTION:Coho season is nearly upon us on Chimacum Creek and nearby watersheds. As such\, the Salmon Coalition will be hosting its annual coho survey training at Finnriver Farm and Cidery on Tuesday\, November 12th from 10am to 12 pm. \nWe’re looking for enthusiastic\, able-bodied volunteers to walk the creek and its tributaries in search of coho and the nests\, or redds\, they create in which to lay their eggs. Volunteers can expect to encounter uneven terrain and occasional obstacles such as fallen trees to maneuver around as well as occasional inclement weather. Training is mandatory\, as volunteers need a good understanding of how to mark redds and document sightings of spawning fish. Space is limited to 24 participants. Click below to register! \nWhat to expect as a spawner survey volunteer: All needed equipment is provided. Conducting a spawner survey requires volunteers to walk over uneven and slippery terrain\, through water and brushy slopes\, and over and around logs. You will work in teams each week from mid-November through early-January on a reach of Chimacum Creek to collect important data on the coho run. \nQuestions? Reach out to Nate Roberts at nroberts@nosc.org \nPhoto by Kevin Merrigan.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting - Salmon Creek
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer with NOSC on November 16th to plant native trees and shrubs to expand the riparian buffer at Salmon Creek!\nNovember 16th\, 10am-2pm at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area \nThis winter we aim to extend the riparian buffer on the west side of Salmon Creek. Outside the 50 – 150-foot current buffer\, the floodplain is currently dominated by invasive Reed Canary Grass which provides little ecosystem services. Riparian buffers play crucial roles in controlling erosion\, providing shade\, filtering pollutants\, slowing runoff\, and are future sources of large woody debris. \nAbout the site: \nThe Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (WDFW) Salmon Creek Wildlife Area is part of the broader 196-acre Discovery Bay Wildlife Area Unit which was acquired for stream\, riparian\, and estuarine restoration and protection. Salmon Creek is one of two major salmon streams that flow into Discovery Bay\, providing crucial habitat for ESA-listed Hood Canal Summer Chum and steelhead. Extensive salmon monitoring via WDFW spawner and smolt traps over the past 20 years shows rebounding chum populations after a stream re-meandering\, riparian buffer planting\, and numerous estuary and nearshore projects. Learn more about NOSC’s estuary and nearshore restoration HERE. \nPlease bring: \n\nLunch\nWater\nLayers for our late fall weather\nSturdy shoes\n\nWe will have work glove and all needed tools/equipment. We will also have some heavy-duty rain gear available to borrow. \nGetting There: Google Maps \n\nFrom Clallam County – take 101 east to Discovery Bay. Just past the old Disco Bay Outdoor Gear Exchange\, turn right on W Uncas Road.  Travel about 1/4 mile\, and look for the NOSC sign at a pullout on your left.\nFrom Port Townsend/Hwy 20 – take Hwy 20 south to 101. Turn right on Hwy 101 then take a left on W Uncas Road just before the old Dico Bay Outdoor Gear Exchange. Travel about 1/4 mile\, and look for the NOSC sign at a pullout on your left.\nFrom 104/101 interchange – take 101 west towards Port Angeles\, continue into Discovery Bay and take a left on W Uncas Road (the north end) just before the old Dico Bay Outdoor Gear Exchange.
