SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting - Orca Recovery Day
DESCRIPTION:Come join us again in celebrating Orca Recovery Day as the Jefferson County Conservation District and the North Olympic Salmon Coalition team up for a planting event at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area! This is important habitat for Endangered Hood Canal summer chum salmon. Recent studies have shown that when Chinook salmon\, the preferred prey of Southern Resident Orcas\, is in short supply\, they’ll supplement their diet with other species\, including chum salmon. \nParking is limited. We highly encourage carpooling! \nPlease bring the following: \n\nGloves\nWater Bottle\nSnacks\nLayers for fall weather\n\nSaturday\, October 19th\, 10am – 12:30pm. \n321 West Uncas Road Port Townsend\, WA 98368

SUMMARY:Volunteer Opportunity: Youth Education 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 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. \n  \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 another volunteer educator or staff member\, 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. \n  \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 8th – Blue Heron at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area \nOctober 10th – Chimacum 7th & 8th at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area (FULL) \nOctober 16th – OCEAN 6th/7th/8th at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area (FULL) \nOctober 17th – Sequim 7th at Dungeness River \nOctober 18th – 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:Spawner Survey Volunteer Training
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of year! The Salmon Coalition is preparing for its annual Summer Chum surveys on lower Chimacum Creek and is seeking volunteers to collect data. \nThis year’s training will be held on Friday\, August 30th from 10am to 12pm at the Haybarn at Finnriver Farm and Cidery. (124 Center Rd\, Chimacum\, WA 98325) \nThis tends to be one of our most popular volunteer activities\, so register soon by clicking the button below. There is a cap on the number of volunteers that can participate. \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 over and around logs. Spawner surveys are conducted on Tuesday mornings from about 10am to 12:30pm from September through early November. After completing the training\, volunteers can expect to receive between 1 and 3 opportunities to conduct spawner surveys\, depending on availability\, interest\, and number of participants. \nIf you have questions or would like to find out more information\, please contact Stewardship Coordinator\, Nate Roberts\, at nroberts@nosc.org \nPhoto of volunteers Mike Marson and Joanna Labaw on lower Chimacum Creek.

DESCRIPTION:Come join us again in celebrating Orca Recovery Day as the Jefferson County Conservation District\, the North Olympic Salmon Coalition\, and Jefferson Land Trust team up for a planting event at the Snow Creek Estuary! This estuary is important habitat for Endangered Hood Canal summer chum salmon.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Spawner Surveys Training
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard to believe\, but salmon spawner survey season is just around the corner\, and we are seeking survey volunteers! \nThe Salmon Coalition has been conducting surveys of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed Hood Canal summer chum salmon on Chimacum Creek since their reintroduction to the creek in the mid-1990’s. Collected data helps the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife assess the health of Chimacum Creek population and is also used to inform future management decisions. With populations having rebounded across their range in recent years\, there’s been talk of their potential de-listing\, which\, if it were to occur\, would mark the first salmonid ever removed from the ESA list! Last season we counted nearly 1\,200 fish\, the most recorded in the watershed since 2016\, and a step in the right direction toward future delisting. \nThis years’ survey training will be held on Wednesday\, August 30th from 10-12 at Finnriver Farm and Cidery in Chimacum. \nIf you’re interested in getting up close and personal with this amazingly resilient species\, click below to register. We hope to see you there! \nIf you have questions or would like to find out more information\, please contact Stewardship Coordinator\, Nate Roberts\, at nroberts@nosc.org.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Mulching Event 2023!
DESCRIPTION:Are you hoping to spend this Earth Day doing something that will having a lasting impact on our local environment? Come join us for a fun\, community-filled day of mulching (and possibly planting) on the wild & scenic Dungeness River. \n  \nThis winter\, over 200 volunteers and students and our Washington Conservation Corps crew dedicated their time to plant and mulch nearly 7\,000 trees and shrubs at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s Caldero Side Channel Project. These trees and shrubs will grow to be a future forest that will support salmon and the many species of wildlife that depend upon these floodplain corridors. \n  \nSo much of the work has been completed by our amazing community so far\, but we still have more mulching to do and a few more plants to get in the ground! \nEvent Date/Time: April 22\, 2023\, 10-2 PM \nEvent Agenda: \n\n10:00-10:15am Welcome and orientation\n10:15-12:00pm Mulching/Planting\n12:00-12:30pm Break time with a bonfire\, hot drinks and treats\n12:30-1:30pm Mulching\n1:30-2:00pm Project site tour w/ NOSC or Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe staff\n\nMerchandise: NOSC merchandise will be available at the beginning of the event\, during the midday break\, and after the site tour by cash or check only.  You may leave early if you wish\, but time flies when you’re planting with NOSC! \nPlease bring: warm\, waterproof clothes and boots\, water\, and a lunch.  You are also welcome to bring your own wheelbarrow\, or other mulching tools. \nRegister Here\n  \nAbout the Caldero Side Channel Project: \n  \nThe Caldero site was acquired by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe in 2017 and is named after the former landowner. The Caldero Side Channel Project created nearly 1\,000 feet of off-channel habitat for both spawning adult salmon and rearing juveniles. \nSide channels such as the one at Caldero are critical refuges for salmon during flood events. This is particularly the case for juveniles\, who can be easily overcome by swift flows. Off-channel habitat can also be important spawning areas for returning adults. In fact\, since project completion in October\, staff have seen adult Coho spawning in the new channel! \nPHOTO CAPTION: A VOLUNTEER SHOVELS MULCH AT CALDERO\, PHOTO BY ÆLFHILD WIKLUND.
