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:Volunteer Opportunity: Youth Restoration Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:It is that season again and we are gearing up to get our middle school students out in the field to start executing their restoration planting projects they spent all this winter designing. We have several field trips coming up in Clallam and Jefferson Counties this spring and are in need of volunteers to help guide students as part of the Real Learning Real Work program. \nWhat to expect as an education volunteer: \nThere are several roles for you to help with! Please communicate with me if you are not comfortable in one of the roles. \n\nSetting-up & cleaning up: this involves transporting equipment to different areas of the site such as tape measure\, bins of work gloves\, tables\, and rain gear.\nFloating Guide: float between groups of 4-6 students and help guide them to carry out their assigned tasks\, answer questions\, and help with task such as planting\, using tools\, identifying invasives\, etc.\nEquipment/Gear/Plants: check out tools and equipment to students\, help them find work gloves that fit\, ensure they return tools/gloves in a clean(ish) and organized fashion. Distribute plants to groups.\n\nI will send out an updated schedule and any additional information you might need the week before the field trip. We will meet 30-45 minutes before the students arrive to answer questions\, go over the schedule\, and make sure you feel prepared. \nDates & Locations: \nSequim is our largest school we work with and they split their trip into 2 days\, ½ the 7th grade class on each day. This is our greatest need for volunteers – the more volunteers we have\, the smaller we can keep student groups. Students get way more out of the experience if they are able to work with small groups. \nMarch 24th – Salmon Creek\, Blue Heron MS \nMarch 26th – Dungeness River\, Sequim MS \nMarch 27th – Dungeness River\, Sequim MS \nMay 14th – Salmon Creek\, Blue Heron MS \nPlease sign up HERE.    \nFeel free to reach out to lmccord@nosc.org if you have any questions! \nImage courtesy of Charles Espey.

SUMMARY:Winter Twig Identification Course - Jefferson County
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC to learn how to identify winter twigs!\nAre you interested in plant identification? Have you wondered what the bare twigs you see throughout winter will grow into? Join us as we host winter twig identification courses in both Clallam and Jefferson counties.

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:Volunteer Planting – Serenity Lane
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC on December 3rd to plant trees and shrubs along the Dungeness River!\nAn aerial image of the Dungeness River\, taken in 2020. Photo by John Gussman. \nAs part of an ongoing riparian forest restoration project\, we will be returning to the Dungeness River to plant trees and shrubs at the Serenity Lane Riparian Restoration Project. In previous years\, this site underwent a massive invasive species removal effort. We aim to fill in the remaining portion of the project with native plants. This diverse future forest will grow to shade the salmon stream\, control erosion\, and provide habitat for the birds\, insects\, amphibians\, and mammals that also call the Dungeness ecosystem home. \nPlanting Details:\nWednesday\, December 3rd \n10am – 2pm \nPlease arrive by 10am for site orientation.

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 the WSU Classroom in Port Hadlock on Wednesday\, 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 Wildlife Area
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer with NOSC on November 8th to plant native trees and shrubs to expand the riparian buffer at Snow Creek!\nNovember 8th\, 10am-2pm at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area \nThis winter we aim to extend the riparian buffer on the west side of Snow Creek which flows on the far side of the Salmon Creek Wildlife Area. Outside the 50 -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. Dense plantings of native trees and shrubs has been quite effective at this site with shading out invasive species. \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. Snow 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 over the past 20 years shows rebounding chum populations after habitat restoration\, 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. Travel about 1/4 mile\, and look for the NOSC sign at a pullout on your left.\n\n \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. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov. \n  \nPhoto by NOSC

SUMMARY:Education Volunteering Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:It is that season again and we are gearing up to get our middle school students out in the field to start off their restoration design project. We have several field trips coming up in Clallam and Jefferson Counties this fall and are in need of volunteers to help guide students of their first field trip of the Real Learning Real Work program. This field trip they will be performing site assessments to identify habitat quality concerns for salmon and collecting data on their restoration plots. \nWhat to expect as an education volunteer: \nThere are several roles for you to help with! Please communicate with me if you are not comfortable in one of the roles. \n\nSetting-up & cleaning up: this involves transporting equipment to different areas of the site such as tape measure\, bins of work gloves\, tables\, and rain gear.\nActivity Co-leader: With a staff member\, help facilitate an activity for a group of 12-18 students. You will be provided with a facilitator guide that will serve as a quick-reference step-by-step to walk the students through the activity in their journal. Each group of students will have an adult chaperone or teacher from the school with them who will handle all behavior management.\nFloating Guide: float between groups of 4-6 students and help guide them to carry out their assigned tasks\, answer questions\, and help with task such as measuring\, using a compass\, identifying common plants\, etc.\nEquipment/Gear: check out tools and equipment to students\, help them find work gloves that fit\, ensure they return tools/gloves in a clean(ish) and organized fashion.\n\nI will send out an updated schedule and any facilitator guides you might need the week before the field trip. We will meet 30-45 minutes before the students arrive to answer questions\, go over the schedule\, and make sure you feel prepared. \nDates & Locations: \nSequim is our largest school we work with and they split their trip into 2 days\, ½ the 7th grade class on each day. This is our greatest need for volunteers – the more volunteers we have\, the smaller we can keep student groups. Students get way more out of the experience if they are able to work with small groups. \nOctober 10th – Blue Heron 7th at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area \nOctober 16th – Sequim 7th at Dungeness River \nOctober 17th – Sequim 7th at Dungeness River \nPlease sign up HERE.    \nFeel free to reach out to lmccord@nosc.org if you have any questions! \nImage courtesy of Charles Espey.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Training: Spawner Surveys
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Spawner Survey Volunteers!\nTraining – August 28th\, 10am-12pm \nWow! Summer has nearly flown by\, and the Salmon Coalition is preparing for its annual Summer Chum spawner surveys on lower Chimacum Creek. Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed Hood Canal Summer Chum salmon were lost from the Chimacum Creek watershed in the late 1980’s after the failure of the Irondale Road culvert released several tons of fine sediment\, smothering salmon spawning grounds and wiping out the already-dwindling population from the Creek. \nA grassroots reintroduction effort spearheaded by Wild Olympic Salmon and concerned community members using eggs from nearby Salmon Creek was undertaken beginning in the mid-1990’s. Reintroduction was a resounding success\, and summer chum salmon in Chimacum Creek have been self-sustaining since 2003. \nThe Salmon Coalition has been monitoring the population in Chimacum Creek since reintroduction and we’re looking for volunteers to conduct surveys and collect data on these resilient fish. Surveys entail walking a section of the creek\, tallying both live and dead fish\, and collecting scale samples from deceased fish. Collected data helps the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) assess the health of the Chimacum Creek subpopulation and is also used to inform future management decisions. \nThis year’s mandatory training will be held on Thursday\, August 28th from 10am to 12pm at Finnriver Farm and Cidery in Chimacum. Early forecasts indicate that this is shaping up to be a banner year for the summer chum return and this tends to be one of our most popular volunteer activities\, so register soon by clicking the link below. We hope to see you at the training! \n \nPhoto courtesy of Charles Espey.
