Join us for a fun, community-filled day of mulching on the wild & scenic Dungeness River!
May 29th, 10am-2pm
This winter, NOSC volunteers dedicated their time to planting native trees and shrubs at the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s Caldero Side Channel Project. Join us as we return to mulch these plants so they can grow into a healthy future forest that will support salmon and other wildlife on the Dungeness River!
Refreshments, gloves and tools will be provided.
About the site:
In 2022, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe approached the Salmon Coalition to assist in revegetating the site of a newly constructed side channel on the Dungeness River, a short distance upstream of Highway 101. The site was acquired by the Tribe in 2017 and is named Caldero after the former landowner. The Caldero side channel project creates nearly 1,000 feet of off-channel habitat for both spawning adult salmon and rearing juveniles.
Side 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 heavy flows. Off-channel habitat can also be important spawning areas for returning adults. In fact, on a recent visit to the project site, Salmon Coalition staff members observed several adult coho salmon utilizing the new channel!
During January and February of 2023, the Salmon Coalition, our Washington Conservation Corps Crew, and hundreds of volunteers planted 7,000 native trees and shrubs! Large scale planting efforts like this one often require several subsequent plantings to ensure full revegetation.

CANCELLED - Stewardship Day at Snow Creek Uncas
2025-06-13 10:00 - 14:00 | Snow Creek Uncas Preserve, 47°58'07.8"N 122°53'04.8"W
This event has been cancelled. Please check out other upcoming events! We hope to see you at one soon.
Join NOSC for a stewardship work party at the Snow Creek Uncas Preserve to pull invasive species. We will be working to manage Spotted Jewelweed, Himalayan Blackberry, and Bull Thistle at the site to help the newly planted trees and shrubs get established. After completing the first stage of floodplain and large woody debris work in the summer of 2023, the next stage of this project is working to restore a healthy and diverse riparian forest on the shores of Snow Creek.
The work party goes from 10am – 2pm with a break for lunch around noon and a site tour at the end. Tools and gloves provided. Please wear long pants and bring water and a lunch. Footing at the site is uneven. Activity ranges from mild to strenuous and can be adapted to ability level.
About the site:
During the summer of 2023, NOSC undertook a comprehensive habitat restoration project at the Jefferson Land Trust’s Snow Creek Uncas Preserve. The Land Trust acquired the property in 2015 to conserve the stream and riparian habitat to support salmon recovery.
This reach of the stream was identified as a major source of bank erosion, contributing fine sediments that were being washed downstream. This erosion impacts downstream redds of endangered Hood Canal Summer Chum. As sediment settles into the gravels around salmon eggs, it limits the flow of water across the eggs and restricts their access to dissolved oxygen.
To minimize bank erosion in the project reach, water traveling through the stream needed to be slowed down. This was achieved by installing 39 engineered log jams in order to slow water flow and add stream complexity. Additionally, ¼ mile of side-channels and 1.4 acres of floodplain were created or reconnected, allowing water to spread out and slow down during moderate to high flows.
Interested in learning more about the whys behind restoration work like this? Check out this talk by NOSC’s Project Manager, Kevin Long, on Stage 8 Restoration from the Port Townsend Marine Science Center’s Future of Oceans Lecture Series
While the first phase of the project is complete, managing the reforestation of the site into a healthy, diverse forest takes several years of stewardship to allow the newly planted native plants to get established.

Invasive Weed Removal at Dungeness River Center
2025-08-01 10:00 - 14:00 | Dungeness River Nature Center, 1943 W. Hendrickson St, Sequim, WA, 98382
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.
Tools 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.
About the project:
With 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!

Volunteer Training: Spawner Surveys
2025-08-28 10:00 - 12:00 | Finnriver Farm & Cidery, 124 Center Road, Chimacum, WA, 98325
Seeking Spawner Survey Volunteers!
Training – August 28th, 10am-12pm
Wow! 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.
A 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.
The 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.
This 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!

Education Volunteering Opportunity
2025-10-16 08:30 - 14:00, 2025-10-17 08:30 - 14:00 | Dungeness River
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.
What to expect as an education volunteer:
There are several roles for you to help with! Please communicate with me if you are not comfortable in one of the roles.

Setting-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.
Activity 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.
Floating 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.
Equipment/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.

I 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.
Dates & Locations:
Sequim 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.
October 10th – Blue Heron 7th at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area
October 16th – Sequim 7th at Dungeness River
October 17th – Sequim 7th at Dungeness River
Please sign up HERE.
Feel free to reach out to lmccord@nosc.org if you have any questions!

Orca Recovery Day - Volunteer Planting
2025-10-18 10:00 - 12:30 | Salmon Creek in Discovery Bay, W Uncas Road
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.
Parking is limited. We highly encourage carpooling!
Please bring the following: Gloves, water bottle, snacks, layers for fall weather!
Saturday, October 18th, 10am – 12:30pm.

Barerooting Plants
2025-11-07 10:00 - 12:00 | Finnriver Farm & Cidery, 124 Center Road, Chimacum, WA, 98325
Volunteer to help NOSC bareroot plants to prepare them for planting at the Salmon Creek Wildlife Area the next day.
We will be working at the NOSC Nursery at Finnriver Farm & Cidery to remove native trees and shrubs from their storage pots. Now dormant 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.
We will meet at 10am at the NOSC Garage and walk out to the nursery. Please RSVP for driving directions.

Volunteer Planting - Salmon Creek Wildlife Area
2025-11-08 10:00 - 14:00
Volunteer with NOSC on November 8th to plant native trees and shrubs to expand the riparian buffer at Snow Creek!
November 8th, 10am-2pm at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area
This 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.
About the site:
The 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.
Please bring:

Lunch
Water
Layers for our late fall weather
Sturdy shoes

We will have work glove and all needed tools/equipment. We will also have some heavy-duty rain gear available to borrow.
Getting There: Google Maps

From 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.
From 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.
From 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.

Coho Spawner Survey Training
2025-11-12 10:00 - 12:00 | WSU Classroom, 121 Oak Bay Road, Port Hadlock, WA, United States
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.
We’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!
What 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.

About the Project:
In 2015, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe purchased and removed several homes at danger of washing into the Dungeness River. The Salmon Coalition joined the Dungeness River Riparian Project in a massive community effort to remove invasive species and replace them with native plants, including seeding the area with riverbank lupine. In recent years, Serenity Lane has been the site of several NOSC student plantings. It is time to return to the site to fill in remaining areas with native trees and shrubs, ensuring invasive vegetation remains at bay.
