SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting - Dungeness River
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC on January 11th to plant trees and shrubs along the Dungeness River!\nNew growth on plants at the Caldero Side Channel Project in Spring 2024. Photo by NOSC. \nAs part of an ongoing riparian forest restoration project\, we will be returning to the Dungeness River to plant trees and shrubs along the Caldero Side Channel Project (on Fish Hatchery Road). Two years ago\, hundreds of volunteers helped plant several acres of future forest along a new side channel of the Dungeness. After being snowed out for several plantings last year\, we are returning this January to finish the job! We aim to improve plant density and plant the remaining portion of the project. 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:\nSaturday\, January 11th \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 \nAbout the Project:\nIn 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. \nPlanting volunteers take a break and look at the side channel project. Photo by Charles Espey. \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 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! \nDuring 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. \nTop Photo by Charles Espey.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting - Snow Creek
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we plant a forest along the banks of the newly restored Snow Creek Uncas Preserve Reach near Discovery Bay!\nDecember 7th\, 10am-12:30pm \nAfter 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. We will plant native trees and shrubs from 10am-12pm. After planting\, we will give a tour of the restoration project from 12-12:30pm. \nRefreshments\, gloves and tools will be provided. \nParking is very limited\, so please try to carpool if you can! \nAbout the site: \nDuring 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. \nThis 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. \nTo 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. \nInterested 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 \nWhile the first phase of the project is complete\, the second phase\, reforesting the site with a healthy and diverse riparian forest is just beginning. After an initial planting phase last winter\, we aim to complete the reforestation this winter by infilling with additional understory and increasing plant density in some areas. \n \nPhoto by Jeremy Johnson.

SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday!
DESCRIPTION:Giving Tuesday – Aquarium for Salmon in the Schools\nThis Giving Tuesday we are raising funds to purchase an aquarium set-up to raise salmon in the classroom at a local elementary school. This year we are welcoming 2 new schools from Port Angeles to our elementary program and need to purchase a full aquarium set-up for Roosevelt Elementary. This program now serves 8 public elementary schools in Clallam and Jefferson Counties. \nHelp us reach our goal of raising $2\,000 for tank supplies! \nA donation of… \n$35 is 1 year of water treatments. \n$50 is an aquarium gravel & aerator. \n$150 gets tank cleaning and testing supplies. \n$500 provides an aquarium & stand for 1 school. \n$1000 provides an aquarium chiller and canister filter to keep water cold and clean. \nGive now via WAGives: \n \nor via our website at Donate | North Olympic Salmon Coalition \n\nAbout Salmon in the Schools:\nSalmon in the Schools is a hands-on\, exploratory learning program where elementary students learn about the life cycle of salmon\, stewardship\, and healthy ecosystems by raising coho salmon from eggs in their classroom. NOSC delivers in-class lessons and hosts a learning-packed field trip where students release the young salmon fry in a local stream. For the 3-4 months that the students care for the salmon\, these fish spark learning opportunities throughout all parts of the classroom – art\, math\, reading\, writing\, and science. \nAll NOSC education programs are provided at no cost to schools to ensure every student has the opportunity to participate.

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. Travel about 1/4 mile\, and look for the NOSC sign at a pullout on your left.\n\nPhoto by Jeremy Johnson.

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 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:Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars for the Salmon Coalition Annual Meeting October 15th! \nWe’re excited to share with you the work we’ve done over the past year\, both in education and restoration projects. We have a great keynote speaker lined up to share about the connection our work has to another unique part of our Pacific Northwest ecosystem – the Pacific Lamprey! \nWe invite you to bring a pie to share with the community to celebrate in true Salmon Coalition fashion! Savory pies are especially appreciated. \nWhen:  \nTuesday\, October 15th \nDoors open at 5pm. The meeting will begin at 5:30pm. \nWhere: \nDungeness River Nature Center \n1943 W Hendrickson Rd\, Sequim\, WA 98382 \n \nA lamprey captured as part of the fish relocation process ahead of the stream restoration project at the Snow Creek Uncas Preserve in the summer of 2023. These unique fish\, inhabit some of the same habitat as salmon and benefit from restoration work. Photo by NOSC. \nAnnouncing our Keynote Speaker: \nMonica Blanchard\, Fish/Lamprey Biologist \nMonica Blanchard works for Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and US Fish and Wildlife\, focusing on conservation and monitoring of native lampreys for both agencies. In this position\, she works on raising awareness about lampreys and collaborates with biologist and managers to incorporate lamprey into projects around the state. Additionally\, she leads and participates in research projects in WA and OR to advance our understanding of lamprey and their habitat use. Prior to this position she worked on salmon and steelhead restoration projects and ESA monitoring in Alaska\, Washington\, and Oregon. One of her favorite things about these fish\, both west coast lampreys and salmonids\, is the great variety of ecosystems they inhabit. \nMonica will speak about the life histories and ecological importance of lamprey as well as the connection between salmon restoration work and these unique fish!

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:Member Tour: Nearshore Restoration in Discovery Bay
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC for a Member Tour of nearshore restoration work in Discovery Bay!\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. Find out more\, join\, or re-join today by visiting Become a Member | North Olympic Salmon Coalition (nosc.org). \nAbout the Tour:\nVisit the Maynard Nearshore Restoration site\, 10-years after restoration work removed 150 creosote pilings from an abandoned railway and restored 1\,700 feet to natural shoreline. Learn about the importance of nearshore restoration\, how salmon utilize this key habitat\, and get a sneak peek at our upcoming restoration work in Discovery Bay! \nSaturday\, September 21st \n \nLocation: Discovery Bay (Directions and parking information provided with registration) \nTour starts at 10:30am. Bring your own picnic and stay for lunch afterwards! We’ll have treats to share. \nBring what you need to be comfortable outside. Most of the site is in full sun. Bring a picnic and a stay for lunch on the beach! \nAbout the Project:\nThe Maynard Nearshore Restoration Project removed a 1\,700 ft. portion of the abandoned Chicago-Milwaukee railroad grade in Discovery Bay (last used in 1984)\, including creosoted pilings\, 1\,200 lineal ft. of bulkhead and a defunct tide gate. Revegetation was completed by volunteers and the Washington Conservation Corps Crew. The result is habitat for hard shell clams and forage fish\, an important food fish for salmon\, among many other species. The bulkhead removal restored a shallow water migration corridor for juvenile summer chum as they migrate out to sea\, a much safer passage than what the concrete and bulkheads provided. \nCan I still come if I’m not a Salmon Coalition Member?\nYes! We always welcome volunteers to share in member tours as thanks for contributing your time and energy to the Salmon Coalition. If you are new to NOSC and want to learn more about our projects before you volunteer or donate\, please reach out to lmccord@nosc.org. Priority is given to members and volunteers\, but if there is still space available\, we welcome anyone to join!

SUMMARY:Member Tour: Birdwatching at 3 Crabs
DESCRIPTION:Photo by John Gussman. \nJoin the Salmon Coalition’s Project Manager\, Kevin Long and Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society’s Bob Boekelheide for a restoration site tour and birdwatching in this restored estuarine habitat!\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. Find out more\, join\, or re-join today by visiting Become a Member | North Olympic Salmon Coalition (nosc.org). \nAbout the Member Tour:\n \nLearn about the importance of estuarine restoration\, the complexities of restoring a delicate habitat\, and how the project has benefitted an entire ecosystem. Bob Boekelheide will lead a birdwatching tour of the site. This time of year\, we can expect to see migrating shorebirds and gulls as well as Purple Martins utilizing nest boxes. \nMonday\, July 29th at 3 Crabs. Directions in registration. \n9am – Birdwatching with Bob Boekelheide\, OPAS \n10:30am – Restoration Tour with Kevin Long\, NOSC \nPlease bring binoculars and/or a spotting scope if you have them. The trail from the parking lot is flat and short\, however there may be logs to step over. \n*Registration is REQUIRED. There is a 15-participant cap.* \nAbout the Project:\nCompleted in 2016\, the 3 Crabs Nearshore and Estuarine Restoration Project restored 84 acres of estuarine and off-channel habitat at Meadowbrook Creek\, which is part of the greater Dungeness River estuary. These quiet channels and pools now provide essential transitional habitat where juvenile salmon from the Dungeness and other rivers will forage and grow on their journey to the ocean. Learn about the importance of estuarine restoration\, the work that was completed almost a decade ago\, and how the project has benefitted an entire ecosystem. \nSince 1998 the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society (OPAS) has dedicated work and resources to a project that provides safe and species-specific nesting cavities for Purple Martins to help them nest and reproduce successfully and remain a part of our state’s vibrant array of birds. OPAS was an essential partner in the 3 Crabs Estuarine Restoration Project in helping to ensure the continued presence of Purple Martin nesting at the site. \n \nPurple Martins – 3 Crabs Estuary by Dow Lambert.
