SUMMARY:Stream Stewards
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\, 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 your 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 from 9-12:30 PM from September 17th-October 15th at various locations in Jefferson and Clallam Counties. \n*PROGRAM IS FULL* Please reach out to nroberts@nosc.org if you would like to be added to the waitlist. \n

SUMMARY:Member Tour: Trapping and Monitoring at Salmon Creek
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC for a Member Tour!\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). \nJoin the North Olympic Salmon Coalition for an exclusive Member Tour with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Stock Assessment Biologist Casey Sloth will lead us at Salmon Creek\, where WDFW staff and volunteers operate a fish trap to monitor salmon runs. Members will see first-hand how fish are captured\, identified\, and sampled for important data that may reveal the age and life history of each salmon. The tour will also provide a chance to observe Summer Chum and Coho salmon up close during their migration. \nWhat to expect: This is a field-based tour with uneven ground and wet conditions near the creek. WDFW staff will have fish on hand for demonstration\, and participants may see live salmon in the trap as well as spawned-out carcasses used for scientific sampling. Please dress for variable weather\, wear sturdy footwear suitable for mud and cobbles\, and be prepared for light walking off maintained trails. \nAbout the project: Summer Chum once nearly disappeared from Hood Canal and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act\, these salmon rely on healthy stream and estuary habitats to survive. Through decades of work by NOSC\, WDFW\, local tribes\, and volunteers\, Summer Chum runs in creeks like Chimacum\, Jimmycomelately\, and Salmon Creek have shown strong signs of recovery. Monitoring programs like the Salmon Creek trap are critical for tracking population health\, guiding restoration\, and ensuring this remarkable species continues its comeback. Your support as a NOSC member helps make this recovery possible. \nThe meeting point and driving directions are provided in registration confirmation. \n  \n**Space is limited – RSVP is required** \nSalmon Coalition Members receive priority registration through September 30th. Registration for Non-Members opens October 1st. \n  \nFill out my LGL Form!\n \n  \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. After priority registration\, we welcome anyone to join if there is still space available! \nSharing our mission and involving the community in salmon restoration work is a vital part of what we do. Please consider supporting us by becoming a Salmon Coalition Member: Become a Member | North Olympic Salmon Coalition (nosc.org) or making a one-time or monthly donation Donate | North Olympic Salmon Coalition.

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: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 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: Gloves\, water bottle\, snacks\, layers for fall weather! \nSaturday\, October 18th\, 10am – 12:30pm. \n321 West Uncas Road\, Port Townsend\, WA 98368
