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. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.

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:Volunteer Training: Spawner Surveys
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Spawner Survey Volunteers!\nTraining – August 21st\, 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 Friday\, August 21st from 10am to 12pm at the Haybarn at Finnriver Farm and Cidery in Chimacum. 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.

SUMMARY:Stream Stewards - Thinking Big: Watershed Scale 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. Learn about tribal harvest management of salmon and stewardship of land in the Dungeness Watershed. 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.

SUMMARY:Orca Recovery Day - Volunteer Planting
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 Snow Creek Estuary Preserve! 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: Gloves\, water bottle\, snacks\, layers for fall weather\, and sturdy work shoes! \nSaturday\, October 17th\, 10am – 1pm \n31 Fairmount Rd\, Port Townsend\, WA 98368 \n
